Garamond Worsted - Ampersand Fibers
Classes
Ampersand Fibers was created in an effort to find the perfect yarn - rustic, yet soft to the touch, comfortable, yet hard-wearing and long-lasting. We have started working with a new mill to produce Garamond Worsted and Avenir Fingering - a new take on our in-house yarn!
The yarn is 100% Corriedale, a breed originally developed from cross-breeding the fine wool of Merino sheep with the long wool of Lincoln sheep - resulting in a yarn that is soft to the touch, yet durable and strong. The longer staple length of the wool means that it is less prone to pilling over time. Considered a medium wool, Corriedale is extremely versatile and can be used in a wide variety of projects from sweaters to hats to socks.
Garamond Worsted is a 4-ply yarn adding to the durability of the yarn. The 4-ply construction creates a yarn that is round in shape and knits up evenly. The yarn shines when used for cables and textured stitches, as it showcases crisp and pronounced edges. That same clean look translates well into color work, making Ampersand Fibers an excellent choice for both intarsia and stranded knitting.
