What is the ply of Ashford Triple Knit yarn?

Ashford Triple Knit is a 12-ply yarn, referring to its weight rather than its ply structure. Triple knit or 12 ply yarn is also known as Aran weight.

How does this yarn compare to other Aran weight yarns?

Ashford Triple Knit stands out due to its blend of finer micron Corriedale and Perendale wool, offering a balance of softness and strength. Compared to other Aran weight yarns, it has a slightly firmer hand, making it ideal for warm outerwear, structured sweaters, and cozy accessories.

Is Ashford Triple Knit yarn suitable for dyeing?

Yes, since it is made from 100% New Zealand wool, it absorbs dyes exceptionally well. Acid dyes or natural dyes can be used to create vibrant, long-lasting colors. Pre-soaking the yarn before dyeing ensures even absorption and helps achieve rich, deep shades.

Can I use this yarn for weaving projects?

Absolutely! Ashford Triple Knit is strong and versatile, making it suitable for weaving as both warp and weft. It works particularly well for textured woven blankets, scarves, and rugs, adding warmth and structure to handwoven textiles. We recommend sampling at 5-7.5 epi and adjusting from there for your desired cloth.

What is the recommended crochet hook size for this yarn?

A crochet hook size of 5–6mm (8/H – 10/I US) is recommended for Ashford Triple Knit. This range allows for a dense, structured fabric or a slightly looser drape depending on project requirements. It’s an excellent choice for crocheted sweaters, hats, and home décor items.

How should I care for items made with this yarn?

Hand washing in lukewarm water with mild wool detergent is recommended to maintain the yarn’s quality. Gently reshape the item while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid agitation or heat, as this may cause felting. Proper care extends the life of handmade garments and accessories.

Is this yarn suitable for beginners?

Yes, Ashford Triple Knit is an excellent choice for beginners. Its slightly thicker weight makes it easier to handle and allows projects to work up quickly. The balanced texture and strength make it forgiving for new knitters and crocheters learning various techniques.

What is the yardage per 100g ball?

Each 100g ball provides approximately 150 meters (164 yards) of yarn. This makes it a great option for mid-sized projects like hats, mittens, and cabled sweaters. Swatching before beginning a project ensures the right amount of yarn is purchased.

Is this yarn ethically sourced?

Yes, Ashford Triple Knit is made from 100% New Zealand wool, which is ethically sourced from farms that prioritize sustainable and humane animal care. The brand is committed to high-quality production standards while ensuring responsible wool harvesting.
