Pattern Ideas for Corriedale DK
Buying seconds is a great way to afford the nicest fibers out there without quite the hefty price tag! Mill seconds, when we have them, are listed in our Shop, where we've added some 100% Corriedale in DK weight, dyed in exceptionally rich heathered hues that will bring something special to your stash or a new project.
Corriedale is one of our favorite fibers and is raised throughout the USA, making it one of our top choices for a great domestically produced yarn. For anyone who hasn't worked with this fiber, you'll find it slightly less soft than Merino, but with more personality and that classic "woolly" hand without the itch factor.
This 3-ply wool is a favorite for anything you want to squish: sweaters and scarves, shawls and baby blankets. At a DK weight, it will work up quickly into nearly anything you might dream up.
You'll find these knit-ready seconds skeins in our online shop at a half the price you'd pay for them retail, making that beautiful sweater you’ve been dreaming of right within reach!
Pattern Ideas for this Yarn
Mary Jeanne loves Worsted: a Knitwear collection Curated by Aimee Gille of La Bien Aimee, for great patterns in a yarn similar to ours. You can get this book through any number of yarn shops or online retailers.
Although we've spun this 100% Corriedale wool to a DK weight, it fills space after blocking to create cohesive, worsted-weight fabrics as well. Try your hand at a little colorwork and play with this five-color palette with a pattern like Azucena Sweater, designed by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne, or the cozy Andrea sweater, designed by Andrea Mowry, shown below.
