Forge — Limited Edition Colorways
It doesn’t happen often, but every now and then, we’ve got a very special colorway of Forge to share! Everything about the yarn is the same as our regular options, but a small amount of the color is available, and when it’s gone, it’s gone! Please be sure to order enough to finish your project, as we will be unable to match these dyelots in the future. Our first limited edition colorway, Smoke, is a gorgeous medium gray.

Forge is made from a heathered blend of 70% U.S. Merino (sourced in Colorado and New Mexico), and 30% U.S. Corriedale (sourced in New York) wool. Forge is a round, well-balanced three-ply yarn. It has a beautiful balance of stitch definition, bounce, and wooly, cohesive bloom that produces both beautiful stockinette fabrics and eye-popping cables. Forge is fabulous in sweaters, hats, mitts, cowls, and even large-format shawls, and knits up happily on needles in the US 6 - 8 (4.00 mm to 5.00 mm) range.
Forge is spun at Mountain Meadow Wool in Buffalo, Wyoming, and dyed at Ultimate Textile in Rutherfordton, North Carolina. Read more about how Forge is made and sourced.
A quick note about color: we know there's nothing more frustrating than yarn that looks one color online and another when it shows up at your door. We've used a fine art reproduction camera and studio lighting to capture true-to-life colors; this means they're optimized for accuracy, not for "pop" on your screen. Still, for best results, you'll want to view them on a color-calibrated screen; a modern smartphone or tablet with the brightness turned up works great.
