Shelter is woolen-spun, meaning the fibers remain in a lofty jumble that traps air and offers remarkable warmth and lightness. Once knit, Shelter achieves its full beauty after a wet blocking, as each stitch relaxes and bonds with its neighbors to produce a plush fabric with a halo. You shouldn’t notice any change in gauge. Ideal for knitting sweaters of every variety, winter accessories, and blankets. Like its fingering-weight sibling Loft, Shelter is fleeced-dyed and blended in 45 heathered colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Yarn \u0026gt;\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShelter is woolen spun, meaning the fibers remain in a lofty jumble that traps air and offers remarkable warmth and lightness. Its two plies are gently twisted to preserve that buoyant quality, so Shelter is a little more delicate than most commercial yarns. Woolen-spun yarns are also more adaptable in gauge, as they can compress to a dense sport weight or bloom to cohere as a gauzy fabric when worked on large needles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShelter has a dry, soft hand and a faintly rustic nature; woolen spinning sometimes results in slightly thinner or thicker sections, and you’ll find the occasional fleck of vegetable matter that proves our wool is never treated with harsh chemicals. Shelter is designed to be a workhorse yarn that invites cables, ribbing, textured stitch motifs, open work, plain stockinette and garter stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that the color settings on your monitor may not display yarn colors accurately.

This versatile mingling of wearability and durability makes Targhee-Columbia suitable for next-to-skin wear, outerwear, or heirloom pieces for the home. We source this breed for Shelter, Loft, and Quarry; the woolen construction of these yarns further enhance the fleece’s lofty and warmth-trapping characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWet Blocking  \u0026gt;\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFill a sink or basin with cold water and submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain underwater without being held there. Soak work for several minutes, allowing fabric to become completely saturated. Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure. Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe recommend alternating skeins while knitting to distribute the color evenly.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*New Nature's Palette Colors\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brooklyn Tweed","offers":[{"title":"Fireball*","offer_id":42949725683967,"sku":"SH 086-DISCO","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/8413\/files\/PRODUCT_COVER_shelter_2.jpg?v=1737039944","url":"https:\/\/gatherhereonline.sbs\/products\/shelter","provider":"gather here","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
