TARGHEE - COLUMBIA WOOL CHARACTERISTICS
The Targhee - Columbia breed combines the softness and elasticity of fine wooled Targhee with the robust substance and warmth of medium wooled Columbia. This versatile mingling of wearability and durability makes Targhee - Columbia suitable for next-to-skin wear, outerwear, or heirloom pieces for the home. Brooklyn Tweed sources this breed for Shelter, Loft, and Quarry; the woolen construction of these yarns further enhance the fleece’s lofty and warmth-trapping characteristics.
