With over seven years curating The Woolly Thistle's yarn selection and bringing you some of the most special yarns from the UK and beyond, last year we introduced our very own yarn! We are thrilled with this beautiful 100% non-superwash wool yarn that honors the fiber's provenance and potential. The original 10 colors are joined by the latest additions, Cinnamon Fern, Wild Clover, and Merrybells to make a gorgeous range of 13 colors!
Rambler gets its name from those hardy hill-walkers all over Britain who "ramble" around the countryside either on their own or with other like-minded ramblers. We enjoy imagining all ramblers wearing knits in our sock yarn as they walk paths and traverse stiles while always closing the gate behind them!
Inspired by our love for British breeds, we chose Dorset wool as the base for our yarn. A medium wool with a down-like feel and squish, Dorset wool is springy and bouncy, slightly rustic and wonderfully woolly without being coarse or prickly. Corriedale and Romney give additional softness and strength and a bit of depth as the Romney is a natural gray. Our 3-ply fingering weight yarn is strong enough for socks but versatile enough for a wide array of projects.
Structurally, Rambler Yarn is a 3-ply, light fingering with a twist designed for socks. Of course, it's not just for socks! Some of our favorite knitting is colorwork knitting and we've chosen sturdy breeds with British heritage so Rambler will hold up beautifully in the form of stranded colorwork garments, or in solid colored garments with plenty of texture.
You can purchase your Rambler by the skein here or in one of the beautiful Color Packs that we've put together with 7 skeins. Each Color Pack includes the three new colors, paired with a Natural and three Original colors. We also have the 13-pack available in a Large TWT Tote for those who just can't resist the whole beautiful color palette! (We get you!)
