Forge is made from a heathered blend of 70% U.S. Merino (sourced in Colorado and New Mexico), and 30% U.S. Corriedale (sourced in New York) wool. Forge is a round, well-balanced three-ply yarn. It has a beautiful balance of stitch definition, bounce, and wooly, cohesive bloom that produces both beautiful stockinette fabrics and eye-popping cables. Forge is fabulous in sweaters, hats, mitts, cowls, and even large-format shawls, and knits up happily on needles in the US 6 - 8 (4.00 mm to 5.00 mm) range.
Forge is spun at Battenkill Valley Fibers in Greenwich, New York, and dyed at Caledonian Dyeworks in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Read more about how Forge is made and sourced.
A quick note about color: Hudson + West knows there's nothing more frustrating than yarn that looks one color online and another when it shows up at your door. They've used a fine art reproduction camera and studio lighting to capture true-to-life colors; this means they're optimized for accuracy, not for "pop" on your screen. Still, for best results, you'll want to view them on a color-calibrated screen; a modern smartphone or tablet with the brightness turned up works great.
Care: Hand wash, lay flat to dry.A note about color: Though we represent every color as accurately as possible in the product photos, colors may vary from dyelot to dyelot. Please ensure you buy enough to finish your project as future dyelots may vary.
Colors may vary slightly from monitor to monitor and may not be exactly what you see on your monitor.
