Brooklyn Tweed Shelter

American Targhee-Columbia wool shines in Shelter, a versatile 2-ply worsted-weight yarn. Shelter is woolen spun, meaning the fibers remain in a lofty jumble that traps air and offers remarkable warmth and lightness. Once knit, Shelter achieves its full beauty after a wet blocking, as each stitch relaxes and bonds with its neighbors to produce a plush fabric with a halo. It’s ideal for knitting sweaters of every variety, winter accessories, and blankets. Shelter is the featured yarn in Andrea Mowry's iconic sweater design, The Weekender.

And now, in addition to their classic heathered colors, Brooklyn Tweed has introduced their Nature's Palette, twelve vibrant new skein dyed colorways!
