ORGANIC HIGHLAND WOOL 350
Our soft “Organic Highland Wool 350” consists of 100% organic highland wool and has a yardage of 350 metres/100g.
The wool comes from sheep that live in the Peruvian highlands, and is a mix between merino and corridal. The merino gives the fantastic softness, and the corridale gives strength, shine and elasticity. The wool is also spun in Peru, which means a very short transport distance between farm and spinning mill and thus a more limited climate footprint.
The wool is only washed prior to spinning and otherwise not further treated, which preserves the wool’s fine properties (water and dirt repellent, self-cleaning, etc.).
Organic sheep are fed exclusively with organic feed that has not been sprayed with pesticides and is non-GMO.
The wool is soft, shiny and elastic – perfect for almost any knitting project imaginable.
We recommend knitting needles 3 – 4.5 mm.
