Hastings Sunrise - DK Corriedale Woolen Spun Yarn

Hastings Sunrise is a colour I developed for Knit City in Vancouver 2025!  This is the last year this event will be held in this venue, so I wanted to create a colour that would reflect the vibrant neighbourhood, the beautiful mountains and sunrises, and the eclectic folks that make this neighbourhood the rich experience it is.  

This skein is highly variegated with peachy pink, aqua blue, green, pale yellow and streaks of grey.  Speckles run throughout bringing surprising pops throughout, although these are muted and washed a bit because of the non-superwash base.

Corrie Woollen is a non-superwash 100% Corriedale wool yarn that is woollen spun, making it warm, light and lofty. Being 300m per 100g skein, you’d think this was a sport weight yarn however, due to its woollen spun construction, the yarn will knit more to a DK/worsted weight. You get around 30% more yardage per 100g than a typical worsted spun DK/worsted weight yarn, making this an excellent value pure Corriedale wool yarn.

South American Corriedale is a snuggly wool with a long, strong staple and beautiful crimp and shine. Being untreated, the wool retains all its natural characteristics, and it has slight grip to the fibre. Anything made in this yarn will be lightweight and keep its shape well. The yarn characteristics make it perfect for sweaters of all kinds, stranded colourwork and cable knits.
