200 yards | approx 50 grams | sport weight

Bright greens, twists of cranberry with a hint of blush pink.

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:

  1. Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
  2. Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash.
  3. Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater.
  4. 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.
  5. Drain the water.
  6. Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
  7. Lay flat and shape to air dry.

For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.

Customer video review of Making Tracks Lite: Winterberry

Really enjoyed making this Alaska hat with Making Tracks Lite in Winterberry and Charcoal. The colors of Winterberry are just perfect for this project! The wool is warm and does not itch. One 50g skein of each color is plenty for this project. For me, 32 stitches over a 4" swatch was a comfortable gauge and did not feel tight. This may vary according to personal preference, the sport yarn would work at a bit looser gauge as well.

Customer video review of Making Tracks Lite: Winterberry

Last night I blocked the body of this brilliant 11:11 sweater by JFM staff member, Logan Laine. The pattern is very unique in structure and special details. Logan uses slip stitch to get the brioche look. This is very well written and fun to knit. My CC is JFM Winterberry Lite. I love how these colors are unfolding, and the yarn is divine. Thank you Logan and Junction Fiber Mill for this wonderful experience!

I noted in my order that if the solid didn't play well with Winterberry to let me know. I received pictures of alternative colors. I'm grateful for the attention to detail and excellent customer service. It's wound and waiting to be cast on. Thank you!
