  Fiber Characteristics

  Finewool Targhee sheep raised in Montana and South Dakota provide their distinctively dense fleeces for Arbor Lodge. This American breed has all the softness of its Merino forebears, with added structure from longwool genetics. Targhee wool has an especially elastic quality ideal for worsted spinning, knitting up into plush, sturdy fabrics suitable for next-to-skin wear.

  Dye Process

  Arbor Lodge is spun from undyed white wool, then skein dyed after spinning into a saturated palette of solid hues that let textured stitches and cables shine, create crisp colorwork, and highlight the natural luster of the wool fibers.

• Gauges

  Arbor Lodge's springy worsted-spun construction is suitable for a wonderful range of gauges and can be used interchangeably with Quarry:

  • 3 - 3½ stitches to 1"
  • Suggested Needle: 6 - 8 mm (US 10 - 11)
  • Suggested Hook: 6.5 - 9 mm (US K-10½ - M-13)

• Care

  Arbor Lodge is a handcrafted product. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when joining in a new skein for even color distribution.

  Wet-Blocking

  Your project isn't finished until it's had its first wash! Follow these steps to watch our yarns bloom into their full beauty.

  1. Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
  2. Add a small amount of gentle soap or detergent.
  3. Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece remains completely underwater.
  4. Soak until completely saturated, for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are thoroughly tested for colorfastness, a small amount of excess dye may rinse free during soaking. Using cold water, soap or detergent, and a short soak time will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers.
  5. Drain your wash water and refill with cold water to rinse. (Skip this step if using a no-rinse soap or detergent.)
  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 fabric flat and shape to air dry.
