Kelbourne Woolens was founded in 2008 by friends Courtney Kelley and Kate Gagnon Osborn.

Kate and Courtney met while working in a local yarn store in Philadelphia, PA; Courtney was a new mom and Kate was in her final year of grad school. Together they founded Kelbourne Woolens at Kate's kitchen table, and have been working side by side ever since.

Good workhorse of a yarn!

I don’t knit with Bulky weight usually, but wanted to make some heavier shawls to throw on in winter. Germantown Bulky was an affordable choice and I like the consistency of yarn thickness throughout. The fact that it’s 100% American makes it stand out in these days of shifting tariff rates.

My new favorite yarn

This is my new go-to yarn!! The fiber is perfect and it is such a joy to work with. I'll be getting more for sure.

More Skipper Needed

Running out of Skipper year for a long-haul project, I stopped in to kelbourne and was delighted with the service, range of materials, and colors. The shop is a yarn paradise.

Cordelia T-Shirt

I just finished, and it is so beautiful. The yarn is soft. The pattern is so unique-I learned several new things. This is the third sweater I’ve made from Kelbourne, and they all turned out well.

Fun and Easy

Love this pattern so far. Creates a lot of interesting textures in the hat while being an easy and quick project.

Perfect for winter knits

Love the colors and texture of Erin. I’m knitting the Daingean Pullover by Kate Osborn, co-owner of Kelbourne Woolens. The pattern is featured in Farm & Fiber Knits, 2024. The knitted fabric is substantial and holds it’s shape. Erin feels like it has a high bulk to weight ratio, so the knitted sweater is not overly heavy, but it will be very warm.

Delightful!

The assorted Perennial Minis I selected are going to be absolutely perfect for my Konpeito Candy scarf project. So excited!!!

As good as all the rest

I’ve loved every single Kelbourne Woolens yarn I’ve tried (Scout, Camper, Germantown) and Lucky Tweed does not disappoint. Stellar.

I absolutely adore this yarn

I am so happy that I finally started a project in Germantown yarn, it was long overdue! I am so so happy with how this yarn is knitting up. The yarn is wonderfully woolly while so being really soft to the touch. Stitch definition is really great and my knitting pre-blocking is so neat! I can’t wait to plan more projects in this yarn
