Spin soft, springy, long-wearing yarns with USA-grown Targhee Combed Top
Get Merino-level softness with extra bounce and memory. Our undyed, domestically processed Targhee combed wool top drafts smoothly, dyes evenly, and felts reliably, so your next project is as comfortable as it is durable.
What you will feel in your hands
- Next-to-skin soft at about 23 microns, gentle for hats, scarves, and baby knits.
- Built-in bounce from lively crimp that gives recovery and shape retention.
- Smooth drafting because true combed top aligns fibers in parallel for tidy singles and clear stitch definition.
- Undyed and dye-ready, this fiber takes acid dyes evenly for saturated solids and tonals.
- Felts on demand since the fine grade locks quickly for wet or needle felting.
Spin it your way
- Short forward draw for sleek, durable yarns with strong stitch pop.
- From the fold or supported long draw for airy, warm, woolen-style singles.
- Helpful tip: if the top feels compacted, lightly pre-draft the fibers.
Best uses
- Soft sweaters, hats, cowls, and baby garments.
- Socks and accessories, add nylon or silk if you are tough on heels.
- Woven scarves and shawls with balanced drape.
- Wet or needle felt figures, backgrounds, and detail work.
- Dye projects that call for bold, even color.
Feel good about your fiber
