Wool of the Andes Bulky is a classic wool yarn spun and plied carefully to achieve a wonderfully balanced twist. A sturdy yet soft yarn that we love using to quickly knit up simple, comfortable sweaters. Dramatic stitch patterns and large cables are appealingly displayed with this yarn.

Bulky yarns are ideal for felting. They knit up quickly into the larger sizes required for the appropriate amount of shrinking into the finished felt.

A Bare (undyed) version is also available. Hand-dyed yarn will give your finished project a wonderful meld of colors. Use our natural yarns and try dyeing for the first time by following the directions in one of our dyeing tutorials.
