Step into the heart of New York with Megs & Co’s latest yarn, Empire Estate. This isn’t just any yarn — it’s a vibrant piece of the Empire State’s rich textile tradition, spun with care and love for the land.
Imagine knitting with a bespoke yarn that carries the legacy of New York. Empire Estate is made from 100% non-Superwash Rambouillet wool, sourced directly from Elly’s Acres Farms. Nestled in the rolling hills of Central New York, this farm is known for its commitment to raising happy, healthy sheep who produce some of the most intriguing wool you’ll ever feel.
But the journey doesn’t stop at the farm — the wool was expertly spun at Battenkill Fibers to create a yarn that’s not only beautiful, but also durable and resilient. The result? A 3-ply DK-weight yarn that offers 250 yards per skein of pure stitching joy. With impeccable stitch definition, your projects will showcase every detail, from intricate cables, stunning colorwork, or even simple stockinette, all with elegance and clarity.
What makes Empire Estate truly special is its connection to New York’s fiber heritage. By choosing this yarn, you’re supporting the local fiber industry and helping preserve age-old traditions. Plus, Empire Estate is part of the NYS Grown & Certified program, which means it meets high standards for sustainability. So, while you’re knitting that cozy sweater or your go-to fall accessory, you can feel good knowing you’re making eco-conscious choices.
And let’s talk color! Empire Estate is available in nine stunning New York-inspired colorways, each one carefully crafted to evoke the beauty of the state’s landscapes. Whether you’re drawn to the fiery reds of an autumn sunset, the deep blues of the Adirondack lakes, or the earthy greens of the Catskill forests, there’s a shade in this palette that will make your project sing.
