Mountain Meadow Wool Alpine Review & Giveaway

Attention, earthy yarn lovers! This one’s for you. Mountain Meadow Wool is a family operated spinning mill located in western Wyoming, and they sent me a skein of their DK weight yarn, Alpine, to review, plus another to give away. Scroll just a little to find the nuts & bolts overview of Alpine, and to fast forward to the giveaway, head to the bottom of this post.

An unabashed color fanatic, this yarn spoke to me immediately. Specifically the yellow-orange colorway I requested, Sorrel, called my name from its tiny thumbnail image on the Mountain Meadow Wool website. The color doesn’t disappoint in real life! Assuming all of the Alpine colorways are this rich and deep, I absolutely would knit with it again for the color alone!

The Yarn: Mountain Meadow Wool Alpine

Colorway pictured: Sorrel
Skein details: 260 yards / 3.5 oz. / 100g / 3 ply DK / 100% Mountain Merino Targhee
Knitting needles: US 7, 4.5 mm / 16 stitches & 23 rows over 4 inches
Crochet hook: US H, 5 mm / 16 sc & 18 rows over 4 inches
Cons: What can I say? Not everybody loves 100% wool.
Pros: If it wasn’t clear already, the colors are super legit. And this made-in-the-USA, DK weight lovely is genuinely really nice to work with. It really feels connected to its source, which can be all too rare in yarn.
Pattern ideas: I really think knitting a tighter version of the Faux Woven Cowl when colder temps come would be lovely with this yarn. For crochet, this yarn would make a lovely Bell Ornament. Can you just imagine how good that color would look on a Christmas tree? So good!
