Kelbourne Woolens Yarn Mojave

Featured Yarn: Mojave

60% cotton, 40% linen

Our love of cellulose-based fibers led to the development of Mojave. It is a lightweight yarn that is strong and smooth with great stitch definition. This pima cotton and linen blend is as pleasant to knit with as it is to wear, and, as a bonus, it can be machine-washed!

WEIGHT: Sport

NEEDLE: US 4-6 (3.5-4 mm)

LENGTH: 185 yd (169 m) / 50 gm

GAUGE: 22-24 sts = 4" (10 cm)

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.

Love this stuff!

Spectacular 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…

Germantown Wool

I like using Germantown wool for my two color knitting projects. It is feels sturdy but not scratchy. The colors look great together.

Beautiful yarn

Lovely halo. Anticipating wearing my hat in the cold of winter. Even in the South we need warm wool hats in beautiful colors

Pretty and soft

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!

Best Tweed Yarn

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.

Norwegian sweater

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.

In love with this yarn

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.

Color cards

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.

Love knows no bounds

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.
