Join the Flock! Flock is cozy lightweight yarn made from American wool and milled in Vermont at Green Mountain Spinnery. It is made of a single strand of yarn giving it a rustic, handspun homey feel. Flock is wonderfully soft. Flock is Verb's take on self-striping yarn. The colorways Granite and Sunflower Seed feature wisps of grey and brown wool, respectively, winding around a white core, resulting in long running stripes of white and the colored wool. If you see a colorway with "Marble" in its name, that means it is dyed on Granite; a colorway with "Whorl" in its name is dyed on Sunflower Seed. You will see the same marbling through the dye when working with it. The marbling will be more subtle on darker colorways, and more pronounced on lighter colorways. We designed the yarn to be this way because it is delightful to see the colors emerge when knitting, shifting ever so gently. Any colorway that does not include Marble or Whorl means that it has been dyed on Flock Lighthouse which is solid white. Therefore these colorways result in a more solid, single colored fabric. ~~~ Flock is best suited for shawls, scarves, cowls, and lightweight sweaters. Because the wool in Flock changes in each edition, due to the slight differences in sheep's wool, each edition of Flock is a little bit unique! Since this yarn is milled and dyed in small batches, please purchase all of the yarn required to make your project.~~~ Flock has been used in a number of patterns, here are some popular options.
