New York State Corriedale - Aran Weight

100% New York State Corriedale

With their third mill-spun yarn Stone Wool created a cozy Aran weight yarn showcasing the warmth and depth of natural wool. 

The Corriedale breed developed from crossing fine-wool Merinos with longwool Lincoln sheep, a combination that created soft-to-the-touch wool with a long staple length. Stone Wool Corriedale is spun from carefully sourced Corriedale fleeces, and strikes the perfect balance of hard-wearing and supple. Knits can be worn close to the skin, and will wear well as they age from season to season.  

The colorway names were inspired by the wealth of subtle colors present in row crops, paying homage to the lifeblood agricultural industry in the Hudson Valley. Each of their colorways has a lovely muted heather effect, adding depth and texture to each shade.
