Making Tracks LITE: In the Clearing
In stock
A blend of greens and blues evoking a sunny forest clearing.
Our Making Tracks yarn is a variegated blend of fine Merino, Targhee, and Corriedale wool from flocks in Idaho to western South Dakota. Scoured and combed at Chargeurs, it is hand-dyed, pin-drafted, spun, and finished at our mill. Proudly 100% American-grown and produced, this non-superwashed, non-mulesed yarn pairs beautifully with solid colors like our Farm Fresh line for stunning colorwork or can be used on its own for gradual color shifts.
Please note that each skein of our Making Tracks yarn is unique due to our hand-dyeing process, and the skein you receive will not be identical to the ones photographed. We have included several images to give you an idea of the color family. If you have a preference, please include an order note (from the cart) and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Additionally, colors may vary across different monitors, and we have made every effort to accurately represent the skein colors.

Care
Wet-Blocking Care Instructions
Your project isn’t truly complete until it’s had its first wash! Here’s how to help our yarns reach their full potential:
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash.
- Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater.
- Soak for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are tested for colorfastness, some dyes are notoriously difficult to set and may release a small amount of excess color. Using cold water, gentle wool wash, and a short soak will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers.
- Drain the water.
- Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay flat and shape to air dry.
For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.
