REGAL is the workhorse of the Briggs & Little lineup, and a beloved staple for Canadian knitters and weavers for generations. Spun from 100% Canadian wool at the family-run Briggs & Little mill in Harvey, New Brunswick, Regal delivers the kind of honest, hardworking performance that only a true woolen-spun yarn can offer.
With its lofty 2-ply construction and characteristic woolly texture, Regal has a rustic warmth that softens beautifully with wear and washing. It's the yarn you reach for when you want a project that will last, whether that's a pair of thick-soled socks, a cozy Fair Isle sweater, a sturdy pair of mittens, or a heirloom-quality blanket. The generous 272-yard skein gives you plenty of yardage to work with, and the classic worsted weight makes it a fast, satisfying knit.
Available in a growing palette of solids and heathers, Regal's colours are deeply saturated. This yarn is not superwash treated, so it retains all the natural lanolin (and occasionally little bits of hay) and loft that makes wool so wonderfully warm and resilient.
Best for: Sweaters, vests, socks, mittens, gloves, scarves, hats, afghans, pillows, woven blankets, coating, and upholstery material.
