Amalgam

Amalgam was born when the farm that raises the Targhee wool for Kingston asked if I might be interested in some Welsh mountain Black wool. I was indeed & Amalgam was born. Made to be a sibling for Kingston it has the same spinning specs, 3 plies, DK weight & woolen spun. The 4 shades of Amalgam are made by varying the percentages of Targhee & Welsh Mountain Black - which you can maybe imagine is a naturally black wool. Amalgam 1 is 100% Targhee, Amalgam 2 is 80% Targhee 20% Welsh Mountain Black, Amalgam 3 is 60% Targhee 40% Welsh Mountain Black & Amalgam 4 is 24% Targhee & 76% Welsh Mountain Black. This yarn is bouncy & round & retains quite a bit of lanolin making is a dream to knit.

This yarn has been proudly made with New York State grown & USA spun wool.
