Rooted in the knitting traditions of Britain and Ireland, Coast from Fairmount Fibers is a true Aran yarn made for substantial knits, defined stitches, and the cablework that made this style of wool famous.
ARN318 Conch belongs to a palette inspired by fishermen, the sea, and the colors of the coastline. Coast follows traditional Aran yarn-making methods: 100% British wool is worsted spun and hank dyed, preserving the structure and character that make wool particularly effective for textured knitting.
After dyeing, Coast receives an organic softener treatment, adding a softer finish while retaining the natural qualities of the wool.
The generous 200g hank contains approximately 336 yards, providing substantial yardage for sweaters, cardigans, vests, hats, scarves, and other cold-weather projects. Its 19-stitch gauge is especially well suited to cables, ropes, braids, diamonds, and richly textured stitch patterns where definition matters.
The wool is sourced from non-mulesed sheep, and Fairmount Fibers states that its British wool comes from flocks managed under strict ethical standards.
