Kelbourne Woolens Germantown DK
Kelbourne Woolens Germantown DK is a DK weight 100% American wool yarn with a story rooted in a happy accident and deep craft history. What began as a mill mix-up—three plies instead of four—became a part of the family that Kelbourne Woolens couldn't walk away from. After a dedicated sample run to perfect the twist, Germantown DK emerged as a beautifully crisp, worsted-spun yarn with exceptional stitch definition that rewards cables, colorwork, and any project where structure matters.
The name itself carries a history: Germantown yarn was first developed in Philadelphia in the early 1800s and became synonymous with quality American wool. Each skein continues that tradition—wool sourced from western U.S. farms, dyed and spun in North Carolina, entirely grown and made in the USA. For knitters and crocheters who care about supply chain transparency and supporting domestic manufacturing, Germantown DK offers something increasingly rare: a fiber you can trace from pasture to project.
