What began as a mixup at the mill - a skein of Germantown with 3 plies, not 4 - became a yarn that we fell in love with and knew we needed. After an additional sample run to perfect the twist, Germantown DK was born. Unlike with Germantown Bulky, the individual plies of Germantown DK are the same weight of those used in the worsted. The end result is a beautiful and crisp yarn with stunning stitch definition.
An icon of American craft, Germantown was developed in Philadelphia in the early 1800s. Synonymous with a good quality worsted yarn, Germantown is 100% grown and manufactured in the USA, with wool from western states and the yarn dyed and spun in North Carolina.
We are proud to be a part of Germantown's long history of American crafting.
