Limited Edition

200 yards | approx. 100 grams | heavy DK weight

Inspired by our Roots colorways. Variegated blueberry, forest, paprika, and ochre.

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 and we have aimed to showcase this in the product photos. If you have a specific idea of what you'd like, please leave an order note at checkout.

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.
