Leaf Peeping is one of my top favorite JFM colors. Of course, the yarn, itself, is fantastic!

200 yards | approx 50 grams | sport weight
Reds, oranges, and yellows as vibrant as the autumn folliage in Vermont.
Our Making Tracks line of yarn is a variegated blend of soft wool (mostly Corriedale) from flocks in the American West or South America (more info). Scoured and combed at Chargeurs, it is hand-dyed, pin-drafted, spun, and finished at our mill in Vermont. This non-superwashed, non-mulesed yarn pairs beautifully with our Roots line of solid yarn, which is made with the same base.
Each skein is unique
There is a lot of variation within each batch of Making Tracks that we have aimed to showcase this in the product photos. If you have a specific idea of what you'd like, leave an order note at checkout. You can also make a
virtual shopping appointment to pick out your specific skein.

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.
