Germantown has deep roots in American textile history. Originally developed in Philadelphia in the early 1800s, its name became synonymous with dependable, high-quality worsted yarn. Today, this U.S.-sourced and spun classic continues that legacy.
All weights of Germantown are made from Territorial wool that’s fiber-dyed and worsted-spun. The naturally creamy fleece gives the yarn a soft luster and springy body, creating a loftier hand and more bounce than whiter Australian or South American wools.
Beyond its heritage and feel, Germantown keeps things practical, too—the pull-skein format means it’s ready to cast on straight from the label, no winding required.
