Kelbourne Woolens Scout Yarn

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.  Yarn details: Weight: DK (11 WPI) Texture:  Plied Put up:  Twisted Hank Fiber content: 100% Wool  Unit weight:100 grams (3.53 ounces) Yardage: 274 yards ( 251 Meters) Recommended needle size:  US 5 - 7 or 3.75 - 4.5mm Knitting gauge:  20.0 to 22.0 sts = 4 inches Recommended hook size: 3.
