Rifton

By Jill Draper Makes Stuff

Rifton is rare and unusual, combining natural, undyed wool with rich, hand-dyed color to create a vibrant, subtle-shifting yarn that is mesmerizing to knit. 600-yard skeins allow the colors to shift slowly and create endless possibilities for pattern and design. We offer Jill’s four original colorways of Rifton, each evoking a season and working well with the other seasons.

We. Love. This. Yarn.

Jill Draper’s Rifton is rare and unusual, combining natural, undyed wool with rich, hand-dyed color to create a vibrant, subtle-shifting yarn. Long sections of each color change gently, creating opportunities for play with color and pattern. Miters? Stripes? Entrelac? It’s all more interesting with Rifton. It is truly mesmerizing to knit.

We are delighted to offer Jill’s four original seasonal colorways:

Winter.

Spring.

Summer.

Autumn.

Rifton is 100% domestic wool, much of it collected at the farm by Jill herself, and hauled to the mill in the back of her car. Spun in Vermont and dyed in New York.

Watching Rifton shift in color is one of knitting's great pleasures.
