About this product
A beautiful (2 plied) Fingering /4 Ply weight yarn
Loop is thrilled to be the UK stockist for Woolfolk yarns.
Woolfolk yarn is harvested from Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino sheep, on sustainably managed heritage grasslands in Patagonia, Argentina. Spun and Dyed in Peru. Their soft wool feels like cashmere, but wears like merino.
Loop has 31 colours.
Be part of their story with Tynd (fingering weight yarns), and Far (worsted weight yarns) - with beautiful pattern support as well.
Woolfolk yarns combine the highest quality wool with ethical, sustainable practices.
The fiber they use, Ultimate Merino® from Ovis21, doesn’t happen by chance, but by the innovative efforts of farmers to produce the very best wool fiber while being land stewards of the Patagonian Grasslands in Argentina.
Spun and milled in Peru. Woolfolk brings this exquisitely soft and lustrous fiber in handknitting yarns that preserves the unique attributes of this luxurious wool.
There is one shearing a year so the fleece, and thus the yarn, is limited. If computers had a 'touch' button, we'd get it for this as you have to feel it to believe how incredibly soft and beautiful these yarns are. Exquisite.
Melanie Berg's 'Ropedance' has been knit in TYND, as well as Versaci Knits' 'Reverso', 'Raindrops', and 'Blocks' from the Versaci Knits Woolfolk collection.
Stephen West's 'Askews Me Shawl' is a beautiful knit in this.
