Arranmore is a 4-ply 100% Ultrafine Merino wool superwash. It is an Aran weight yarn hand dyed by Jorstad Creek. Jorstad Creek dyes in its Olympia, Washington studio and is known for its rich, layered colorways.
This yarn is hand dyed in small batches, so each batch may be a little bit different, and we recommend buying all of the yarn you need for a project at one time. We also suggest alternating skeins when knitting projects.
Arranmore has excellent elasticity and good stitch definition. It has a less flexible drape and will produce a heavier fabric.
