Product Description
Why Kelbourne Woolens Scout Is a Sweater Staple
A DK weight, 2 ply heathered wool designed with classic knitting and crochet in mind, Scout is yarn for the sake of yarn. Perfect for garments, Scout is put up in a generous 100 gram, 274 yard hank. It is unfussy, beautiful, high-quality, and comes in a gorgeous color palette.
As with the Highland wool in Andorra, the wool in Scout is a cross between Corriedale and Merino. It is not as soft as Merino, but it is stronger and adds durability to the yarn. Scout is also unique in that it is a heather, meaning multiple colors are pre-blended prior to spinning to create a shade with a lot of depth and variation. Natural is the one exception to this – it is the undyed white shade of wool.

I love my purchase of Kelbourne Woolens Scout! I bought a sweater quantity for a colorwork sweater, and I couldn't be more pleased with how it's turning out. The shop experience was easy, they have a great color selection at Apricot, and now my sweater is looking beautiful. I had to restart a while ago (too small sizing, my own fault) and it was easy to tear the knitting out and rework the yarn, so that was great as well. Highly recommend!
