We developed Heritage Yarn Worsted to be the cone you can count on—steady yardage, saturated color, and durability for daily use. Each 1 lb cone is a smooth, multi-plied 80% superwash merino / 20% nylon blend that shines in weaving (warp or weft) and knits or crochets beautifully straight from the cone.

Where Heritage Shines

• Cone yardage that keeps your momentum: with ~1,000 yards on a single cone, you can warp longer, weave more, and make bigger projects with fewer stops for joins.
• Soft merino feel, reinforced for everyday wear: the 80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon blend gives you comfort with added strength—especially helpful for pieces that get handled, worn, or washed often.
• Multi-plied structure for cleaner stitch definition: a multi-plied (16/8) construction helps the yarn stay cohesive under tension and highlights texture—great for crisp woven cloth, cables, and simple stitches that you want to look sharp.
• A reliable weaving sett range: start at 8–12 EPI, depending on the hand you want (more open vs. firmer fabric). It’s a practical range for scarves, runners, sturdy yardage, and cozy home pieces.

Made for Warp, Weft, and Everyday Makes

• Weaving: warp or weft for scarves, table runners, throws, and textured yardage (plain weave, twills, overshot accents).
• Knitting: warm accessories, hard-wearing garments, colorwork, and projects where definition matters.
• Crochet: sturdy blankets, bags, and everyday makes that benefit from strength and smoothness.

Care

Machine wash cold with cold water, then lay flat to dry. A little extra care helps your projects last longer—many makers still prefer a gentle wool wash for best results. Never use a dryer.

If you’re working with high-contrast, dark, or highly saturated colors, washing a small swatch first is strongly recommended.
