Introducing Keystone, the newest addition to the beloved Germantown family from Kelbourne Woolens. 

Built for real-life and made to last, Keystone is a classic, easy-care worsted weight yarn that perfectly blends practicality with purpose. Designed for knitters and crocheters who want dependable quality without compromising on values, Keystone is crafted from a thoughtful blend of 70% deadstock acrylic, and 30% North American wool. The result? A soft, sturdy, and versatile yarn as ideal for baby garments and dog sweaters as it is for heirloom afghans or community outreach projects.

Why North American wool? Dyeing raw fiber is just one step in the multi part process of manufacturing Germantown. By blending the same wool that is used in Germantown with the deadstock acrylic, we're expanding the use of the fiber, which in turn, reduces waste and increases supply chain efficiency. 

Why deadstock? When sourcing the raw materials for an easy-care, affordable yarn, we took great care when considering the acrylic. Working directly with the mill that makes Germantown, we're utilizing more than 59,000 pounds of acrylic fiber abandoned in their warehouse. This is fiber that would otherwise have gone to waste or ended up in a landfill.

Keystone is proudly 100% made in the USA, supporting domestic manufacturing, bypassing tariffs, and championing sustainability. By using surplus deadstock materials, we’re helping reduce waste in the textile industry and giving new life to existing resources. Keystone is a yarn that works hard for your projects and makes practical use of what’s already available.
