Perfect for multi-seasonal wear, Chesapeake is a combination of crisp organic cotton combined with extra soft Merino wool. It's part of Classic Elite Verde Collection, with focus on environmentally conscious yarns. Since it's made of both a vegetable and animal fiber, the result is a lovely heathered yarn due to the way the fibers take the dyes. Chesapeake knits up at a worsted weight so it's ideal for knitting both adults and children's garments.
