Luxury Kimball Coal Dust Handspun Bulky Merino Yarn is a Premium Artisan 2-Ply Wool and Handpun Fiber, featuring the world-class color saturation of Malabrigo.
Imagine wrapping yourself in the cozy warmth of Kimball Coal Dust, a stunning handspun bulky merino yarn inspired by the rich coal mining history of Kimball, West Virginia. This unique colorway embodies the mysterious beauty of coal—a deep, nearly-black blue with shimmering hints of teal, green, and ember, reminiscent of a miner's lantern glowing in the Appalachian twilight.
Every yard of this bulky weight yarn is slowly guided through the wheel in my West Virginia home. Spun from 100% fine 19.5-micron merino, it offers a buttery, next-to-skin softness and a plush, consistent loft that machine-made yarns cannot replicate. By combining Malabrigo’s industry-leading hand-dyed colors with artisanal handspun texture, Kimball Coal Dust provides a soulful, timeless elegance for your most cherished luxury knits.
