Golden Anniversary - Intrepid - Babette

We're celebrating the golden 50th anniversary of the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival with this soft rose gold with red and gold speckles. It's a perfect contrast for rich, warm jewel tones.

You can see all the yarns dyed in this colorway by visiting our Golden Anniversary colorway collection.

This yarn is speckled: it has a tonal-colored background shade peppered with small dark specks and spots of dye. Each skein is different in terms of speckle distribution and placement. We will do our best to choose multiple skeins that coordinate well.

This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but Babs has a method of recreating these artistic colorways. The photograph is an example of representative skeins from this colorway; the skein you receive may differ somewhat. If you have any questions about the color, please give us a call or email to ask for a photo - we are always happy to describe our current batch for you to make sure it meets your needs!

Intrepid

Intrepid is the non-superwash worsted weight yarn we’ve been searching for. It is an all-American yarn, from the Targhee sheep, to the processing, to the dyeing. Targhee wool has a great bouncy liveliness while still being soft. Intrepid is a classic 3-ply worsted weight with a lot of body, perfect for warm and cozy textures in sweaters, hats, and more.

Content: 100% Targhee wool
Gauge: Worsted weight. 4-5 stitches per inch knit on US 7-9, 3-4 stitches per inch crocheted on US I-K.
