Product Description

Jaggerspun produces this beautiful top-dyed worsted spun, medium grade wool with a heather effect.  Finished items soften and loft after washing.

Heather comes in Fingering, Sport, Lace and Worsted weights. This listing is for fingering weight.  If we don't have the color or quantity in stock, we can normally get it to you in about a week.

2/8 - Fingering Weight - approximately 2,240 yds./lb. 

        100-grams-498 yds

Heather fingering weight is great for knitted and woven garments that are warm, yet light.   The beautiful yarns lend well to colorwork. 

Consider knitted projects of shawls, mittens and hats. Knitting needle sizes from US 1 to US 3 are often used; larger needles may be used for lace.

A woven blanket would be beautiful in this yarn.   Normally a sett of 12-14 epi is used for plain weave, and 16 epi for a 2/2 twill.

Washing Instructions: Hand wash garmets and fabrics, lay flat to dry.  Also may be dry cleaned.
