Targhee Wool Characteristics
Targhee sheep from Montana and South Dakota lend us their distinctive fleece for our Arbor yarn. This fleece is a finewool, bearing the softness of its distant Merino ancestry, but with a durability enhanced by additional longwool genetics. It also has an elastic quality that, when combined with worsted-spinning as in Arbor, produces plush and dense, yet sturdy fabrics suitable for next-to-skin wear.
Gauges:
5¼ – 6 stitches to 1" | Suggested Needle: 3¾-4½ mm (US 5-7)
We recommend alternating skeins while knitting to distribute the color evenly.
WET-BLOCKING:
We recommend alternating skeins while knitting to distribute the color evenly.
WET-BLOCKING:
- Fill a sink or basin with cool water and submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
- Soak work for 10 minutes, allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
- Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.
