Brooklyn Tweed's founder and creative director Jared Flood and marketing coordinator Kel Moore share the story of Tones, our innovative overdyed yarn.
Tones is a versatile worsted weight yarn, woolen spun from American Columbia fleeces, with
a round and springy 3-ply construction for stitch definition that shines in textured and cabled knits, creating a delightfully plush fabric with a slight fuzzy halo.
But we didn’t stop there – Tones’ unique colorways offer countless options for creativity.
Tones begins with our two heathered “baseline” yarns, one light and one dark, which we overdye together to create Tone Pairs of harmonious shades. Go light & bright with your favorite color’s Overtone, or choose the Undertone for a deeper, more subdued variation.
Mix and match Overtones and Undertones in colorwork or stripes for painterly harmony in your fabric. Craft vibrant combinations using Overtones and Undertones of different hues, or go for a more subtle approach by pairing an Overtone and Undertone from the same colorway. We can’t wait to see what you create!
Find Tones at your local yarn store and at BrooklynTweed.com

At Brooklyn Tweed we are passionate about wool, knitting and design.
We develop and manufacture breed-specific wool yarns that support domestic textile production. This means designing, sourcing, dyeing and spinning our yarns 100% within the USA.
We craft our knitwear designs with the same commitment to timeless quality that we apply to our yarns. Every pattern is meticulously drafted and edited to provide clear instructions that empower knitters to build new skills. Our design team explores the intersection of knitting traditions and contemporary style, to produce patterns that are a pleasure to knit and wear.
