Sport Weight Wool of the Andes - 50g skeins

from $8.00

I’m thrilled at how this sturdy yet soft yarn dyes up with my various natural dye materials. The yarn has excellent stitch definition and owes it’s durability to Peruvian sheep, a cross between Corriedale (for sturdiness) and Merino (for softness). You will be able to create bouncy cables, gorgeous textures, or beautiful colorwork with this yarn.

* Please note: Undyed yarn is sold only in 100g skeins.

Yarn content: 100% Peruvian Highland wool
Weight: SPORT
Yardage: Approximately 137 yds/125m per 50g skein
Care: Hand wash cold. Lay flat to dry
