The Maine Line is a worsted wool yarn long a favorite in the commercial sweater market. This versatile yarn can be used successfully for hand and machine knitting and weaving.
The Maine Line in 2/20 lace weight allows you to create fine garments, and heirloom lace work that meets the Shetland standard of being able to pull a shawl through a wedding ring, yet it is much softer then Shetland wool. This yarn line can be used successfully in felting projects.
Here's a useful fact that you might want to consider: it takes on average about one (1) cone of yarn to make a sweater. Compare the cost-effectiveness of working straight from cones for your projects. You will avoid dealing with "joins" and your work will be faster and more fluid.
We offer wholesale pricing whenever you purchase four (4) or more cones of any of the JaggerSpun cone yarns, regardless of yarn line and/or color combination.
One of the hallmarks of the yarns manufactured by JaggerSpun and Jagger Brothers is their unsurpassed textural and color consistencies – accompanied by the fact that their yarns have a very low occurrence of knots when compared to yarns available through other manufacturers. The Maine Line has these characteristics, thus offering knitters an incredible amount of versatility when knitting using 2, 3, or more plies together straight out of the balls or cones purchased: the results appear as though the original yarn had been spun using these “plies” to begin with. Knit or crochet combining different color plies to obtain special effects. Combine using yarns from our other lines for trims and many other special effects.
Use for knitting, machine knitting, weaving, crochet, dying … the creative possibilities are endless.
The Maine Line 2/20 lace weight yarn is manufactured in all colors shown below.
