Kingston
Colorful flecks, snuggly softness, and plenty of bounce. Kingston is a dyed-in-the-wool tweed made from Targhee wool from New York State’s Finger Lakes region. Its round, 3-ply construction makes cables stand out and brings a lively feel to colorwork.
This woolen-spun DK has a little of the farm still in it: you may find bits of hay because the mill doesn’t use a harsh chemical wash to dissolve them. For undyed natural shades to coordinate, take a peek at Jill Draper Amalgam.

Maker & Impact
Kingston comes from Jill Draper Makes Stuff and uses Targhee wool from the Finger Lakes region of New York State. The mill leaves some plant matter in the wool rather than using a harsh chemical wash to dissolve it.
