Cormo 3.0 Spirit Trail Roussillon

In December, I sent a big box of Cormo 3.0 to Jennifer Heverly, of Spirit Trail Fiberworks, to see what magic she could work with her hands-on dye technique. She created two richly saturated, warm and earthy colors for us. Roussillon is a gorgeous copper shade that drifts from orange to gold. Jennifer dyed these skeins in Virginia before returning them to Pepperell Mill Campus in Biddeford, Maine, where they were tagged and shipped to you.    Quick Facts Gauge: This plump, three-ply, combed American Cormo yarn has two distinct modes depending on what you want to make out of it. If your intent is a spongy, decadent cowl or scarf--something where abrasion concerns will never enter the picture--then you can pull out your US 11 (8mm) needles and finish your 3-3.25 stitches-per-inch project in no time. If, however, your goal is a garment where structure, dimensional stability, or abrasion resistance are a concern--which is to say, any kind of sweater--you will want to stick in the US 9 to 1
