Array is a fine yet durable 2/12 worsted wool yarn, designed for tapestry weaving as well as shaft loom weaving. Spun and dyed in the United States from carefully selected wool, it offers excellent color definition, strength, and consistency.

Description

Array by Gist Yarn is made primarily from Corriedale and Columbia wool, sourced from ranches in the western United States. The yarn is then spun and dyed in North Carolina, ensuring high standards of quality, durability, and color consistency.

This 2-ply (2/12) worsted yarn is fine—approximately 3,360 yards per pound—yet strong and reliable. It is especially popular for tapestry weaving, where it is used as weft in multiple strands, but it also performs beautifully as warp or weft on shaft looms when woven at the appropriate sett.

Array is an excellent choice for weavers looking for a versatile, stable wool yarn with clean structure and rich color.
