Mountain Meadow Wool Cody
50 grams
200 yards
100% American merino wool
Sportweight: US Needle 3-4
I've featured Mountain Meadow Wool company and its American yarns on the blog before. Today's Pick of the Week is their sportweight merino wool: Cody.
Cody is a soft, springy 2-ply yarn that comes in undyed natural colors and in eco-friendly natural dyes as well. The Geranium color is a warm, friendly red that immediately attracted me and I started a ruffled edge shawl that was inspired by a shawl worn by Kate Middleton, recent bride to Prince William.

I am using US 5 needles from my set of Addi Click Turbos, with a 24 inch cable to hold all of the stitches. I am in love with this yarn. It has a faint scent of lanolin that gives the yarn a rustic appeal and its incredible softness. There are tiny amounts of VM (vegetable matter) still in the yarn, because MMW uses a gentler cleaning process to preserve its softness. They are easy to remove and haven't bothered me.
The shawl is approximately half-way finished and it is light, warm, drapey and soft. Knit at a tighter gauge, Cody would make excellent textured socks or garments. Right now I am enjoying making a warm cozy wrap in time for the cool weather of fall.
