Germantown is a classic American made yarn. In fact, it is a revival of the very first commercial American yarn! This 100% North American non-superwash wool is spun and dyed in North Carolina. Germantown is known for its softness, bounce, stitch definition, and wide range of vibrant colors perfect for both traditional and modern projects.
An icon of American craft, Germantown was developed in Philadelphia in the early 1800s and revived by Kelbourne Woolens in 2018. Synonymous with a good quality worsted yarn, Germantown is 100% grown and manufactured in the USA. Kelbourne Woolens is proud to be a part of Germantown’s long history of American crafting.

Kelbourne Woolens: Germantown
Kelbourne Woolens was founded in 2008 by Courtney Kelley and Kate Gagnon Osborn. After running a sole distributorship for almost a decade, in 2017 we poured our years of experience into our own line of yarns under the Kelbourne Woolens brand. Our primary focus is creating yarn with accessibility, quality, and functionality. The yarns are meant to be worked with, worn, and enjoyed by all, with as few barriers to entry as possible.
Kelbourne Woolens is for those who love the craft as much as we do.
We strive to design yarns that fill a gap – not only within the Kelbourne Woolens line itself, but in the industry overall. Working directly with mills throughout the world, we are able to work closely with manufacturers who share the same core beliefs of high-quality production paired with environmental and social practices that respect and value the planet.
