Kelbourne Woolens Germantown DK is a 100% North American wool yarn born from a happy accident! After a mix-up at the mill one day, Kelbourne Woolens’ Germantown yarn was spun with three plies instead of four required for a worsted weight. Germantown DK was the result, a slightly finer, DK version of the classic Kelbourne Woolens Germantown line. Its smooth twist and crisp stitch definition make this a favorite for colorwork in sweaters, hats, and other accessories.
Germantown is one of several Kelbourne Woolens yarns that we carry. For a superwash option, see Cozy, and for another non-superwash wool in a DK weight, try Scout. For all our Kelbourne Woolens options, view our Kelbourne Woolens Collection.
Join in on the Kelbourne Woolens Year of DK Hats for 2026 using Germantown DK! The Callisto Hat by Tommy Knits and the Juliet Beret by Chinua “Chin” Matthews are two of twelve hat patterns coming out this year that require just one skein of Germantown DK.
