Rare in a worsted spun yarn, Imbue Worsted’s heathered colorways are blended from an assortment of fleece-dyed solid colors, creating richly complex shades that harmonize beautifully in colorwork and stripes.

In a versatile worsted weight, Imbue Worsted is an ideal choice for soft and cozy sweaters, accessories, and blankets.

Fibre Characteristics

The wool for Imbue Worsted comes from Merino sheep raised in Utah and Nevada. An ancient breed hailing back to 12th century Spain, the “King of Sheep" is renowned for supremely soft and dense finewool fleeces with lively spring, velvety luster, and superb vibrance of color when dyed. Ideal for cozy sweaters, accessories, and blankets, Imbue Worsted’s 5-ply worsted-spun construction brings smoothness and durability to this wonderfully wearable wool.

Dye Process

Like an artist mixing their paints, we blend brilliantly dyed hues of unspun wool in precise proportions to create each colorway of Imbue Worsted. When spun, these bright solid colors mingle into richly heathered shades of beautiful depth and luminosity, ensuring harmonious cohesion across the entire palette for colorwork projects or when pairing separates in your hand knit wardrobe.
