This light fingering weight yarn is perfect for fine gauge sweaters and large shawls. Katahdin, (named for Mount Katahdin, the northern endpoint of the Appalachian Trail which runs through our backyard) weighs in at 1750 yards and 16.5 ounces, making it our largest skein to date. It can be knit at a heavy laceweight or light fingering gauge and is 100% Bluefaced Leicester wool. BFL is a perfect canvas for Babs’ colors, giving the yarn a rich depth and slightly glossy finish.
