Jagger Spun Heather 3/8 (sport)

This is a sportweight, 100% wool yarn which knits at approximately 6 sts. to the inch on a #4 needle. These 50 gram skeins contain 166 yards. If you needed to, you can hold this yarn doubled to get the same gauge as their Heather 6/8.

The colors are rich, but not overly saturated. It is soft, yet customers' experiences tell us it holds up well with minimal pilling. It is great for colorwork, and if you like doing it, you'll want a skein of each color for your palette!  Hand washing is recommended.

This yarn is the same weight as their new Jagger Ragg yarn and can be used interchangeably.

Jagger Spun, of Springvale, has been producing spun yarns since the 1880’s when Uriah Jagger arrived from England and established a worsted spinning operation in the Mousam Valley of southern Maine.

In the Seawall Cap and Mitts set, created by Maine designer, Mary O'Shea, we used one skein each of these six colorways: bayberry (cc3), brindle (mc), chokecherry (cc4), sagebrush (cc1), sunset (cc5) and teal (cc2) - with plenty of yarn left over for another project.  (With a second skein of brindle, you can make second set!)

In the Loon Hat, created by Maine designer, Mrs. Knitter's Designs, we used one each of these four colorways: chokecherry, edelweiss, lava, and periwinkle. (With a second skein of lava, you can make a second hat.)
