Brooklyn Tweed
Brooklyn Tweed is celebrated for its high-quality, breed-specific wool yarns and timeless, sophisticated designs. Founded by designer Jared Flood, the brand emphasizes American-made products and works closely with local mills to create yarns sourced from domestic sheep breeds. Brooklyn Tweed is especially known for its rustic, woolen-spun yarns like Shelter, Loft, and Arbor, each featuring a beautiful range of earthy, tweedy colorways. Their yarns are designed to highlight the natural qualities of wool, such as warmth, durability, and stitch definition, making them ideal for texture-rich patterns, cables, and colorwork. The brand’s commitment to sustainability and quality has made it a favorite among fiber artists looking for natural, American-sourced yarn with a timeless aesthetic. Learn more about Brooklyn Tweed.
