from 87 reviewsSpectacular colors and a slightly crunchy (but not scratchy) hand make this my go-to yarn for cabled items. I honestly want something I every color…
I like using Germantown wool for my two color knitting projects. It is feels sturdy but not scratchy. The colors look great together.
I am doing color work for the first time and it is turning out just beautifully.
Lovely halo. Anticipating wearing my hat in the cold of winter. Even in the South we need warm wool hats in beautiful colors
I’ve only used superwash wools before and was shocked at how soft this wool is. The weathered color is absolutely beautiful and I love how it seems to change color in the light. I can’t wait to finish my project!
This yarn has lots of tweed specks, but is still soft. I have made several hats with this yarn and they come out really beautiful.
I purchased this yarn to use for a Norwegian cardigan sweater. The colors were perfect and it is a lovely yarn to work with. The yarn arrived in a timely manner.
This is the second time I've ordered Scout. I fell in love instantly. It knits up so pretty and soft. The only downside is that I'm in the Netherlands and import duties and shipping are high, but you best believe I'm already saving up to order some more!
I need a dependable worsted yarn for some gift hats. Germantown never disappoints. Fun to knit and comfortable to wear.
Love your patterns on the yarn as well.
I’m a complete Camper fan girl, and love swatching and planning colorwork sweaters and accessories. Having the physical samples of the yarn is awesome to support color decisions! Plus, they are just really fun to play with.
Kellbourne woolens Scout is a wonderful yarn to knit with. I love the depth of color and it knits up beautifully.
This yarn is easy to work with and beautiful.
The yarn is great. The colour work well with each other. Doing a shawl using 7 colours . I have purchased the yarn a few times. A large plus I have not encountered the yarn to knots in them on the whole which is more then I can say for a lot of the yarn I work with.
Nice pattern, well thought out, as all your patterns are.
