Brooklyn Tweed Arbor

Arbor is a classic DK weight with timeless versatility. Springy, soft American Targhee wool is combed smooth and worsted-spun into a round and bouncy 3-ply yarn, creating crisp stitch definition in cables and textured fabrics. With a painterly palette of skein-dyed solid colors, Arbor is ideal for wear-everywhere sweaters and accessories.

Targhee sheep from Montana and South Dakota provide their distinctively thick and heavy fleeces for Arbor. This American breed is a finewool, bearing the softness of its distant Merino ancestry, but with durability enhanced by additional longwool genetics. Targhee wool has an especially elastic quality that, when combined with worsted-spun construction, produces plush yet sturdy fabrics suitable for next-to-skin wear.

Arbor 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.

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