Brooklyn Tweed Peerie
Brooklyn Tweed Peerie
Brooklyn Tweed’s Peerie is a wee, woolly, worsted-spun wonder of a yarn. Though its named from the word for ‘small’ or ‘tiny’ in the Orkney/Shetland dialect of Scotland, Peerie is entirely American made. 100% American merino wool, sourced from herds in Nevada and Utah, is spun into a fingering-weight yarn in Maine. The snug twist and 4-ply construction of the strand—and the merino fiber itself—has a bouncy strength that’s enhanced by being worsted-spun. The result is a dense strand that produces precise stitch definition and crisp textures.
And then there’s Peerie’s deeply saturated color palette, dyed in Maine. A truly expansive spectrum—forty-five colors!—brings your favorite shades and a huge range of complementary hues and values to your needles. Each tone is beautiful—one can shine alone in a piece that’s all about texture, or many can work in concert for a truly stunning bit of colorwork.
