What is High Desert?
Knit Picks High Desert is a medium from Knit Picks. Composition: 100% merino wool. One skein holds 200 m of yarn and weighs 100 g.
How the yarn behaves
Domestic-sourced merino-and-Rambouillet wool spun with a tight twist. The twist gives crisp stitch definition and bouncy cables; the fibre blend stays soft enough for next-to-skin wear. RWS-certified flock sourcing and domestic milling are part of the appeal. Strong fit for structured sweaters, Aran cables, colourwork and accessories where stitch detail and bounce both matter. Hand wash cool and dry flat — not superwash, so avoid agitation.
