Jagger Spun Heathers Fingering Weight

The Heathers Fingering Weight line from Jagger Spun is top-dyed worsted spun yarn. This 100% European wool is top-dyed in the UK then milled and blended in Maine. The heather effect is created by blending together many different shades to achieve each unique yarn color. These yarns will loft and become even softer after washing. 100% wool Yardage: approx 498 yards Skein: 100g Weight: Fingering Yarn thickness: 2ply Spinning: worsted European wool, milled and blended in Maine Gauge: needle size 1-3 US - approx. 7 stitches to the inch Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry The Jagger family has been spinning yarn in southern Maine since the 1880’s (and before that, in England).

In 1956, the third generation moved the business to the mill building in Springvale (part of Sanford) where we still are today. Jagger
