These Jagger Cones are 100% blended European Wool. Heather is a top-dyed worsted spun 100% medium grade wool yarn. The heather effect is created by blending together many different shades to achieve each unique yarn color.
These yarns will loft and become softer after washing. Heathers are NOT super wash treated and CAN be felted easily.
Jagger Yarns mill is based in Maine and is still operating and producing the highest quality of yarns more than 100 years after it was founded by the Jagger Brothers in 1898.
This American company has been a staple in the industry for more than a century and supports the local community!
