Junction Fiber Mill Making Tracks LITE

Making Tracks yarn is a variegated blend of fine Merino, Targhee, and Corriedale wool from flocks in Idaho to western South Dakota. Scoured and combed at Chargeurs, it is hand-dyed, pin-drafted, spun, and finished at our mill. Proudly 100% American-grown and produced, this non-superwashed, non-mulesed yarn pairs beautifully with solid colors like our Farm Fresh line for stunning colorwork or can be used on its own for gradual color shifts. 200 yards | approx. 50 grams | sport weight 100% Wool: Merino, Targhee, Corriedale Fiber source: USA Hand-dyed at Junction Fiber Mill Non-superwash Made in small batches at Junction Fiber Mill in White River Junction, Vermont NOTE: Each skein is unique There is a lot of variation within each batch of Making Tracks that we have aimed to showcase this in the product photos.

Here’s how to help our yarns reach their full potential: Fill a sink or basin with cold water. Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash. Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater. Soak for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are tested for colorfastness, some dyes are notoriously difficult to set and may release a small amount of excess color. Using cold water, gentle wool wash, and a short soak will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers. Drain the water. Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure. Lay flat and shape to air dry. For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.
