Look at Dapple's colors and you'll see why it is so different. The skeins are intentionally dyed in a variety of tints within each color. This opens the door to fantastic one-of-a-kind garments which feature fades from dark to light, alternating bands of different intensities, or purposeful placement of dark and light within a design. But what if you'd like something more uniform? You can alternate one- or two-row stripes worked from skeins of various tints for a more blended look. However you decide to work the color, when you knit with Dapple, you create fabric with amazing depth and texture. When you make a sweater in Dapple, you know that no one else has a sweater just like yours.

Dapple is the latest example of Brooklyn Tweed's investment in US production. It is a blend of 60% Merino wool from Colorado and 40% organic cotton raised in Texas. The fibers then go to Two-Rivers, Wisconsin to be woolen spun for a lofty ply and then twisted together into a 2-ply DK weight yarn. Their final step in processing is in Philadelphia, where they are dyed in their distinctive tonal colors. In addition, Brooklyn Tweed is contributing 3% of the profit from this yarn to the National Black Farmers Association for as long as they make the yarn.
