Meet Épinette, a DK weight yarn with 117 metres (128 yards) per 55-gram skein, worsted-spun into a smooth and balanced 3-ply. Crafted entirely from 100% Canadian wool, Épinette delivers the performance and texture discerning makers love.
Soft yet sturdy, Épinette offers a springy bounce and a round structure, delivering excellent stitch definition for everything from textured pullovers to intricate lace shawls. Whether you’re knitting heirloom garments or everyday essentials, this yarn is ready to rise to the occasion.
This yarn is the result of our first test spin using this fibre at the mill — and like all good tests, it came with valuable insights for future improvements. While it’s a trial run, Épinette remains a beautiful yarn with garment-worthy potential. Its pricing reflects its experimental nature, and we welcome your feedback to help shape the next iteration.
