This yarn has a wonderfully soft yet woolly character. With its 4-ply woollen spun construction, it is great for sweaters, shawls, and accessories and knits up into a warm yet lightweight fabric.

This yarn uses wool which comes from Peruvian highland sheep near where the yarn is spun reducing the carbon footprint of the yarn. The sheep are a cross between merino and corriedale breeds valuable for the fibre length and strength they create. The yarn is an inexpensive alternative 100% wool yarn which is slightly more rustic in nature. Peruvian Highland wool wears well, has plenty of bounce and volume and is not prone to fuzzing and pilling. A great all purpose yarn.
