What makes Kelbourne Woolens Scout Heathers Yarn a great choice for sweaters and garments?

Kelbourne Woolens Scout Heathers is a versatile, 100% wool yarn in a DK weight, making it an ideal choice for sweaters and other garments. Its non-superwash construction means your knits have excellent structure and definition, which helps show off cables, lace, or textured stitches. Many customers mention they love how lightweight but warm their sweaters feel, and that the Scout Heathers holds its shape beautifully through wear.

What are the care instructions for Scout Heathers Yarn? Is it machine washable?

Scout Heathers is a non-superwash wool yarn, so we recommend hand washing finished projects in cold water with a gentle wool wash. Lay your knits flat to dry to preserve their shape and softness. Machine washing may cause felting or shrinking. Our customers appreciate how easy it is to care for, and many mention that the wool feels softer after its first wash.

What is the fiber content, yardage, and recommended needle size for Kelbourne Woolens Scout Heathers?

Scout Heathers is made from 100% wool, offering the warmth and resilience knitters love. Each 100g skein contains approximately 274 yards (250 meters). The recommended needle size is US 5-7 (3.75-4.5 mm), which is great for a variety of DK-weight patterns including sweaters, hats, and accessories.

How do the heathered colorways of Scout Heathers perform in multi-color projects?

Kelbourne Woolens Scout Heathers comes in a beautiful range of heathered shades, each with subtle depth and sophisticated undertones. If you’re planning a colorwork project, these colors blend well together and offer enough contrast for crisp designs. Customers often comment that color choices look even richer in person and that the heathering gives finished pieces a classic, timeless look.

Is this yarn itchy or suitable for next-to-skin wear?

Many knitters report that Scout Heathers is pleasantly soft for 100% wool yarn. While it's not as 'buttery soft' as some superwash Merinos, it's comfortable for most people to wear directly against the skin. It's especially popular for cozy sweaters, hats, and mittens. If you're sensitive to wool, we recommend swatching before starting a large project—most customers find Scout Heathers softens further after washing and blocking.
