Spring 2019
This spring season we are excited to announce the release of our newest addition to the Kelbourne Woolens family - Perennial. Why Perennial? Because we think it will be a yarn you turn to again and again, year after year. With a good mix of luxury and practicality, Perennial is a highly functional and versatile yarn that can serve a variety of needs for both knitters and crocheters alike. The fiber blend for Perennial was based on a long-discontinued favorite of ours - Schaefer Yarns, Anne. After much sampling and fiddling with the yarn recipe we finally came up with a soft, velvety, machine washable blend that is suitable for sweaters, socks, baby garments, and lacy shawls. We hope you love Perennial as much as we do, and return to it over and over again.
Kelbourne Woolens yarns are for those who love the craft as much as we do.Â
