Jagger Heather

 

This Jagger Heather yarn is such a dream all knit up. We have this gorgeous hat sample in the shop...look at all that beautiful variation. It's a weighty Aran weight, but I can't figure out which yarn it is on Ravelry! Regardless, it's amazing. Look at these colors! (Especially that red...oh my.)

Eye Candy

Silk and wool? Yes, please. The DK Zephyr is something to love.

JaggerSpun Zephyr Lace

We have JaggerSpun Zephyr in the shop! This classic lace merino and silk blend has been around for a long time, but I think this is the first time we've carried it. Each 50g skein is over 500 yards of true lace weight, perfect for heirloom lace shawls or featherweight sweaters. 

I used a very similar yarn to make a wedding shawl for a dear friend years ago. It wasn't quite fine enough to slide through her wedding ring, but it turned out so beautifully. I am not normally a lace knitter, but that heirloom piece was really wonderful to knit and give.

If lace weight yarns are not your thing, you can also hold this beautiful stuff along with heavier yarns to add a cool marled look. You could also double the yarn (with one or two colors) to achieve a lofty and squishy DK or worsted weight, depending on your needle size. This is such a gorgeous yarn. No wonder it's been a classic for so long!

So Many Hats

Sally is on a colorblocking roll these days. We have two lovely samples in the shop, knit using the Conversationalist pattern from The Plucky Knitter.

This cute one was made using the Knitted Wit Worsted in a interesting charcoal and lovely light grey, finished with a pop of hot pink.

The yarn is so beautiful knit up. The semi-solids are really deep and subtly tonal. If you are looking for even more pop, check out all these bright colors we have in the KW Worsted. You could create quite a set of hats with some of these.

Not to be outdone, the new JaggerSpun Super Lamb needed to be a hat, too. This one looks a little more nautical to my eye. Love that matte finish and tight ribbing. This yarn is something else.

She has already knit two of these cute hats, and she is threatening to make more. Look out!

Super Lamb

It's been awhile since I've seen JaggerSpun yarns in person, but they have been around for a long time. The mill in Maine was established in the 1880s, and they have been producing high-quality, beautiful yarns ever since. Their website has some great information about the history of the company and brief but sweet factory tour, if you are interested in that sort of thing. You know I am.

We are welcoming Super Lamb, a superwash DK, into the shop this spring. Each of these skeins is 124 yards of squishy merino wool. Sally used three of the periwinkle blue to make the Elyse Cowl from Quince & Co. It's a long and lean cowl that looks great doubled up.

There is something about this yarn that we can't quite describe. It has a heft to it, but it's not exactly heavy. It has a deep color, but it's not too bright. It has a nice matte finish, but it's still vibrant. I don't know what to say. Pop in and have a look will you? Let me know what words you would use to describe it.
