Jill Draper Amalgam Natural Wool DK
Natural shades, round stitches, and a lovely woolly bounce. Amalgam is a woolen-spun, 3-ply DK created as a sibling to Kingston, with the same spinning specifications and a palette made from the sheep’s own colors.
Varying proportions of Targhee and naturally black Welsh Mountain Black wool create four shades, with retained lanolin lending the yarn an inviting feel as you knit. For hand-dyed colors to coordinate, take a peek at Jill Draper Kingston.

Amalgam began when the farm supplying Targhee wool for Kingston offered Jill Draper some Welsh Mountain Black wool. Combining the two breeds in different proportions created a coordinating range of four natural, undyed shades.
