Brooklyn Tweed Quarry has some unusual features we’d like you to know about. While it looks like a single-ply yarn, you’ll find that it’s actually three unspun plies that are lightly twisted together. As a result, its behavior on the needles is unique. Brooklyn Tweed has a helpful card we’ll include with each purchase of Quarry—you’ll find much of this information on it!

The twist of the three unspun plies likes to twirl into soft loops between the ball and your needles. To counter this, simply run your fingers gently along the working yarn toward the ball. The finished fabric will be well-balanced without bias.

Quarry ends tend to unravel, so we recommend you splice strands together when you join a new ball. To do this, remove a single ply a few inches from each end to be united. Moisten both ends, overlap them, and rub the remaining plies together between your palms. Warmth and friction will felt the ends together.

When you need to add a little more strength to your strand—whether you’re seaming or about to put stitches under tension—twirl the working yarn a few revolutions in the direction of the ply twist. Use this trick when weaving in cast-on and bind-off ends. (As she knit the Car Coat, Kit found herself needing to add a little twist now and then.)

To add even more strength to the seams of your Car Coat, you may choose to work your seams in a different, more tightly spun yarn that’s in a similar color to your choice of Quarry. Consider doing this with the optional pockets as well.
