Big Day!!! We are so happy to welcome kelbournewoolens to our shop!

We have a beautiful selection of Perennial, Scout, Cozy, and Erin. You’re going to want to touch and see them IRL!

Perennial is a blend of vibrantly dyed superwash merino wool, soft Suri alpaca, and Oeko-Tex certified nylon.

The wool in Scout is a cross between Corriedale and Merino, a DK weight, 2 ply heathered wool designed with classic knitting and crochet in mind.

Cozy is the perfect combination of softness, strength, and practicality, a light worsted weight yarn made with a dreamy blend of Fine Superwash Merino wool and sustainable Easy Wash® Alpaca.

Erin is an authentic bulky/Aran weight Irish heather made in Donegal, Ireland. It is a hearty blend of 60% fine Irish wool and 40% New Zealand wool.
