Dapple / Brooklyn Tweed
DK weight Dapple balances the spring and bounce of fine American Merino wool with the airy softness of Texas organic cotton, with a lofty 2-ply woolen-spun construction for that “favorite sweatshirt” feel in baby sweaters, lightweight shawls, and garments. Dapple’s unique dye process creates heathered tonal colorways that shift throughout each skein for one-of-a-kind projects every time.
Dapple’s lofty woolen-spun construction is wonderful for a wide range of gauges and can be used interchangeably with Arbor:
5¼ – 6 stitches to 1"
Suggested Needle: 3.75 - 4.5 mm (US 5-7)
Suggested Hook: 4.5 - 5.5 mm (US 7 - I-9)
Dapple is a handcrafted product. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when joining in a new skein for even color distribution.
WET-BLOCKING
Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
Submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there.
Soak work for 15 minutes, allowing fabric to become completely saturated.
Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.
