Fiber Characteristics
Brooklyn Tweed crafts their Shelter, Loft, and Quarry yarns using Targhee-Columbia wool sourced from Wyoming. This special blend captures the best of both breeds, with Targhee’s fine, soft, and elastic fibers harmonizing perfectly with the sturdy warmth of Columbia wool. The result is a lofty, warmth-trapping fleece that’s perfect for cozy wearables. Woolen-spun to enhance its natural softness and durability, this yarn is ideal for next-to-skin garments, rugged outerwear, or cherished heirloom pieces. Its versatility makes it a joy to knit with, and each stitch highlights the yarn’s beautifully balanced qualities.

Dye Process
To create the stunning heathered hues of Loft, Brooklyn Tweed starts with unspun wool, dyed in vibrant colors that blend like a painter’s palette. Carefully measured amounts of these bright colors are mixed to form the base for each yarn, which, when spun, produces intricate, deep blends that elevate even the simplest knit fabrics. With just a few base colors, the palette is designed for easy coordination in colorwork or for pairing with your favorite handmade garments and accessories.

For their solid colors, Brooklyn Tweed begins with undyed white wool, which is skein-dyed into brilliant, nature-inspired tones that harmonize beautifully with the heathered shades, offering endless possibilities for your creative projects.
