Trailhead Yarns is Canada's premier dyer of plant based yarns and threads since 2013. Dyer Samantha, started off making hand-dyed Canadian wool when a life changing wool allergy had her looking for plant based yarns like cotton, linen, and tencel. Samantha has been perfecting her techniques over the years, meeting the growing demand for sustainably sourced plant-based yarns for those who have allergies, live in warmer climates, want to wash and wear, and want to use vegan yarns.
Appalachian Trail is a cotton/nylon blend fingering weight yarn, great for socks with its generous nylon content and custom spun twist which provides strong, long wearing fabric. Used single for socks and light fabrics, or held doubled for DK weight projects, this multi use yarn might just become your newest favourite.
