Shelter

Brooklyn Tweed Shelter is a worsted weight, woolen-spun Targhee-Columbia wool, sourced, dyed, and spun entirely in the USA. Woolen-spun yarns are lofty and somewhat delicate, and because of the air trapped between their jumbled fibers, they are also especially warm for their weight. This also means that Shelter is amenable to a range of gauges, happy to expand or contract based on the needle size used. Give your finished piece a soapy bath, and you’ll find that the yarn blooms into a cohesive, somewhat fuzzy fabric. Reach for Shelter when you’re planning a cozy garment or accessory with a bit of structure - it especially shines in colorwork! Look for pattern ideas on our blog.
