Kelbourne Woolens Scout

Kelbourne Woolens Scout

A classic, heathered wool that embodies the spirit of traditional knitting with a modern, soft touch. Kelbourne Woolens Scout is a quintessential DK-weight yarn designed for versatility and longevity. Spun from 100% Peruvian Highland wool, it features a beautiful palette of heathered shades that lend depth and a timeless, heritage feel to every project. It is the kind of wool that knitters return to year after year for its reliability and classic character.

Yarn Details

  • Weight: DK
  • Fiber Content: 100% Peruvian Highland Wool
  • Yardage: 274 yards / 250 meters
  • Skein Weight: 100 grams
  • Gauge: 5–5.5 sts = 1 inch
  • Needle Size: US 5–7 (3.75–4.5 mm)
  • Care: Hand wash cold; lay flat to dry

Why You'll Love It

  • Superb Definition: The multi-ply construction creates a round, bouncy yarn that makes cables, crisp ribbing, and textured stitches truly pop.
  • Heathered Depth: The colors are blended from multiple shades of fiber, creating a sophisticated, nuanced look that adds visual interest to even simple stockinette.
  • Hard-Wearing Softness: Peruvian Highland wool is celebrated for being more durable than merino while remaining soft enough for next-to-skin wear.
  • Consistent Performance: A dependable "workhorse" yarn that blocks beautifully and holds its shape through years of frequent use.

What to Knit

Scout is the perfect choice for garments and accessories that require both structure and style:

  • The Shiftigan by Andrea Mowry (try it with Entropy DK!)
  • Pressed Flowers Cowl by Amy Christoffers
  • Isla Jumper by Kelbourne Woolens
  • Lucille Cardigan by Kelbourne Woolens

A Modern Heritage Staple

Kelbourne Woolens Scout was developed with a clear mission: to create a high-quality, accessible wool that celebrates the craft's history. It is slightly toothy—giving it the perfect "grip" for stranded colorwork—but it transforms during blocking, blooming into a soft, cohesive fabric. Whether you are knitting a classic cabled cardigan or a modern mosaic cowl, Scout provides the structural support and timeless aesthetic that makes a hand-knit piece feel like a boutique treasure. It is a staple for any stash and a reliable foundation for your most ambitious projects.
