Germantown is a classic American made yarn, a revival of the very first commercial American yarn! What began as a mix-up at the mill - their original Germantown with 3 plies, not 4 - became a yarn Kelbourne Woolens decided needed a line of its own!
This 100% North American non-superwash DK weight wool is spun and dyed in North Carolina. Germantown is known for its softness, bounce, stitch definition, and wide range of vibrant colors perfect for both traditional and modern projects.
