North Ave Twist
Hand-dyed color meets a woolen-spun twist. North Ave Twist is a 2-ply, marled wool yarn spun by Harrisville and hand-dyed by Plied Yarns in Baltimore.
North Ave is technically fingering weight but can often work in sport and DK patterns, too. Swatch first to check the gauge and fabric you want, then dream up a shawl, a colorwork sweater, or a cozy cowl.
