Harrisville Designs

100% Pure Wool Yarn

Wool yarn has been spun in Harrisville, New Hampshire since 1794 — making it one of the only mill towns of the early 19th century that still survives in its original form. In 1977 it was designated a National Historic Landmark.

What draws weavers to Harrisville isn't just the history. It's a yarn that was genuinely designed with the loom in mind. The Shetland is spun with a higher twist than most wool yarns — which gives it the durability and strength that warp threads demand. The palette is deep and considered, the wool itself is a blend of fine Australian and New Zealand fibers, and it arrives on cones ready to go straight to your loom. American-made, weaver-approved, and a long-time favorite in the handweaving community.
