Why You'll Love It

  • Superb Definition: The multi-ply construction creates a round, bouncy yarn that makes cables, crisp ribbing, and textured stitches truly pop.
  • Heathered Depth: The colors are blended from multiple shades of fiber, creating a sophisticated, nuanced look that adds visual interest to even simple stockinette.
  • Hard-Wearing Softness: Peruvian Highland wool is celebrated for being more durable than merino while remaining soft enough for next-to-skin wear.
  • Consistent Performance: A dependable "workhorse" yarn that blocks beautifully and holds its shape through years of frequent use.

What to Knit

Scout is the perfect choice for garments and accessories that require both structure and style:

A Modern Heritage Staple

Kelbourne Woolens Scout was developed with a clear mission: to create a high-quality, accessible wool that celebrates the craft's history. It is slightly toothy—giving it the perfect "grip" for stranded colorwork—but it transforms during blocking, blooming into a soft, cohesive fabric. Whether you are knitting a classic cabled cardigan or a modern mosaic cowl, Scout provides the structural support and timeless aesthetic that makes a hand-knit piece feel like a boutique treasure. It is a staple for any stash and a reliable foundation for your most ambitious projects.

Kelbourne Woolens Scout

I bought Scout at Loop about 2 years ago and made the PetiteKnit's Friday Pullover. I loved knitting with this yarn and two years later, I love the vest I made with the yarn. The pattern calls for two yarns held together (mohair being one), but I really didn't want to do that. This was perfect for this pattern as far as I am concerned. The vest has a nice loft to it. So glad I decided to use it and want to make the same vest in another color of Scout.

Beautiful yarn

This yarn is lovely to work with. Beautiful drape and stitch definition. And the color is so multidimensional.

Review of Kelbourne Scout yarn and Loop

I absolutely love this yarn. I have made one cardigan out of it and am now working on another.
Loop was so helpful, easy to order from and quick to send.

Scout is a favorite among many of the Loop staff; we're always happy to hear that our customers enjoy it, too. Thanks for the review.-Laura
