What began as a mix-up 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.

from 139 reviewsThis 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.
The service was great! I received my order within a few days. And the yarn is beautiful 😍
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.
I love this hat and yarn. It is squishy soft and a beautiful color.
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.
My order came very quickly and I live the color and hand of this delightful yarn! Can’t wait to knit and wear the sweater I have planned!
Love this pattern so far. Creates a lot of interesting textures in the hat while being an easy and quick project.
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.
The assorted Perennial Minis I selected are going to be absolutely perfect for my Konpeito Candy scarf project. So excited!!!
I’ve loved every single Kelbourne Woolens yarn I’ve tried (Scout, Camper, Germantown) and Lucky Tweed does not disappoint. Stellar.
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
It feels good to work with and stich definition is fantastic.
Love this color. Using it held double with Harmony for Sweater No. 9
Making a sweater for my grandson. The color combination is AMAZING. Can’t wait to see the finish product.
What a great way to try the yarn and colors- perfect for colorwork too.

Made by knitters, for knitters
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.
