Quarry Yarn

Citrine: Cast bronze. Citrine is a cool, swampy ochre muddled with olive, lime, and rust, the lightest member of a yellow-green gradient with Sulphur and Serpentine. In comparison to the Loft and Shelter palette, think of it as Fauna’s brighter cousin.

Garnet: Spice market. This deep chili red is lightly shaded with black and purple, then toasted to festive perfection with autumnal gold, rust, and brown.

Geode: Foggy mornings on the coast. Geode is a twilight grey striated with royal blue and soft lilac. The merest hint of camel gives it a faint glow.

Granite: Gulls on the winter sea. A steady, enduring, medium grey, Granite is very similar to Sweatshirt in the Loft and Shelter palette.

Hematite: Blackberry pie. Hematite reads as the darkest possible magenta; it’s composed of black lit with dashes of scarlet and just a hint of lavender and navy.

Lapis: Summer skies. Lapis is a blend of three blues tempered with black, brighter than Almanac in the Loft and Shelter lines, but still close kin.

Lazulite: Deep sea diving. Lazulite is blackened navy with a pinch of lavender and teal.

Moonstone: Snow shadows. Grey white with a touch of royal blue, Moonstone is a cool and tranquil pale hue.

Obsidian: Lava glass. Obsidian is black marbled with glints of grey and white, which enliven the fabric and help to reveal stitch work.

Sandstone: Whole-wheat flour. Sandstone is a warm white seasoned with brown and a dash of camel for mellow glow. Compared to the Loft and Shelter palette, it’s darker than Fossil but paler than Woodsmoke.

Serpentine: A forest watering hole. Serpentine is murkiest dark olive with subtle hints of navy, teal, yellow, and rust.

Slate: Welsh rooftops. Slate is a moody, muddy blue grey with streaks of camel and rust.

Fossil: Stags’ velvety antlers. Fossil is white warmed with a whisper of brown.

Product description

Quarry is a chunky sibling to Shelter and Loft, inspired by roving-style “unspun” yarns and offered in pillowy 100-gram skeins. Three strands of the same lofty, woolen-spun Targhee-Columbia fleece are gently spun together into a plump yarn that looks like a single ply and has greater tensile strength and stitch definition than a true unspun yarn. Quarry loves to cable and beautifully renders all kinds of textural stitch work. We think it’s ideal for sweaters, coats, blankets, and cozy accessories. Fleece-dyed and blended into an array of heathered colors.

Developed, sourced, processed, spun and dyed in the USA. Learn more about our woolen-spun yarns.

TARGHEE-COLUMBIA WOOL CHARACTERISTICS
The Targhee-Columbia breed combines the softness and elasticity of finewool Targhee with the robust substance and warmth of mediumwool Columbia. This versatile mingling of wearability and durability makes Targhee-Columbia suitable for next-to-skin wear, outerwear, or heirloom pieces for the home. We source this breed for Shelter, Loft, and Quarry; the woolen construction of these yarns further enhance the fleece’s lofty and warmth-trapping characteristics.

Care
We recommend alternating skeins while knitting to distribute the color evenly.
Wet-Blocking
1. Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
2. Submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
3. Soak work for 15 minutes, allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
4. Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
5. Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.
