Coincidentally, they were in Manos del Uruguay, who we just worked with on our Collaboration Collection! Colorwork can take many forms,…

Scout Collection: Powell
Throughout the process of creating and growing the Kelbourne Woolens line of yarns, it has been really fun to see how Meghan and I have responded to Courtney’s yarn, and then how Courtney and Meghan responded to my yarn.

Scout Collection: Portage
Scout is “my” yarn in the lineup of new Kelbourne Woolens yarns we’re releasing this year, so it was only fitting that I took the reins in terms of the overall look and feel of the Scout Collection.
