Scout’s Honor: From Pasture to Purl
Meet Scout’s Honor, a truly homegrown DK-weight yarn with deep roots right here in Corning, New York, connecting your handmade heirloom pieces directly to our regional fibershed. This exceptional 2-ply yarn is a celebration of regional agriculture, grown and spun entirely within the Empire State to bring you the very best of the slow fiber movement.
The story of this yarn begins just up the hill on a beautiful, small Corning farm tended by local shepherdess Kris Sayre. For many years, her green pasture was home to Kris’s beloved horses, especially her favorite, Scout. Today, that very same grass sustains her small, meticulously cared-for flock of fine-wool Cormo ewe and lambs: Winnie, Ginnie, Linnie and Tuck. Named in honor of the noble horse who watched over these fields, Scout’s Honor carries the spirit of the land and a deep legacy of love, care, and connection.
Crafted primarily from premium, Corning-raised Cormo fleece, Scout’s Honor delivers that legendary, cloud-like loft, bouncy elasticity, and next-to-skin softness you love. To ensure your sweaters, cozy shawls, and everyday accessories stand the test of time, we’ve blended in just a touch of regional Corriedale for added strength and durability.
Beautifully balanced and full of character, it offers fantastic stitch definition that makes cables pop and stockinette shine. Great choice for your Rhinebeck Sweaters for Good project!
