Rooted in the coastal knitting traditions that gave Aran yarn its name, Coast ARN301 Cliff from Fairmount Fiberscombines 100% British wool with traditional spinning and dyeing methods for yarn with structure, character, and excellent stitch definition.
Coast is a traditional Aran yarn, developed in the spirit of the wool historically used for cable sweaters throughout the coastal regions of Britain and Ireland. The wool is worsted spun and hank dyed, giving it the body needed to make cables, braids, diamonds, ropes, and other textured stitches stand out clearly.
Cliff ARN301 belongs to a palette inspired by fishermen and the rugged coastline. Its coastal character feels especially at home in classic Aran sweaters, but the yarn works just as beautifully in contemporary cardigans, vests, scarves, hats, and other projects where the natural qualities of wool are part of the design.
After dyeing, Coast receives an organic softener treatment for a softer finish while retaining the structure of the wool. Each generous 200g hank contains approximately 336 yards, providing substantial yardage for garment knitting and larger projects.
Coast is made from 100% British wool. Fairmount Fibers specifies that the wool comes from non-mulesed sheep cared for by British farmers who adhere to strict ethical standards.
