Fairmount Fibers Coast Aran Yarn – ARN317 Kite | 100% British Wool

Traditional Aran knitting begins with wool that can hold its structure, define intricate stitches, and stand up beautifully in substantial garments. Coast ARN317 Kite from Fairmount Fibers is made with exactly that heritage in mind.

Coast is a traditional Aran yarn made from 100% British wool, following the established methods associated with the cable-knit sweaters of Britain and Ireland. The wool is worsted spun and hank dyed, creating a structured yarn particularly well suited to cables and other dimensional stitch patterns.

Kite ARN317 is part of Coast's color palette inspired by fishermen and the landscapes and waters of the coastline. After dyeing, the yarn receives an organic softener treatment for a softer finish while preserving the natural character and stitch definition of the wool.

Each generous 200g hank contains approximately 336 yards, making Coast an excellent choice for traditional Aran sweaters as well as cardigans, vests, scarves, hats, and other textured knits. At a gauge of 19 stitches per 4", Kite gives cables, braids, ropes, diamonds, and other dimensional patterns room to stand out.

Fairmount Fibers specifies that 100% of the wool comes from non-mulesed sheep cared for by British farmers working under strict ethical standards.
