Highland wool comes from a crossbreed sheep that lives in the Peruvian highlands at over 2,000m above sea level. These crossbreed animals derive from Corriedales and Merinos, and the environment in which they live allow them to produce a wool that is dry, crimpy and durable. At 27 micron the wool is not quite as soft as merino, but it is stronger than merino, it is also warm, and it has good elasticity.
Here it is a new favourite yarn, we love to feel its crimpy texture under our hands. It is tightly spun with 3ply which makes it round and with good stitch definition, great for textured stitches and cables. We especially love it for sweaters, cardigans and shawls.
Hand wash in cool water. Lay flat to dry.
Colors are hand dyed with professional acid dyes. Each hand dyed batch is quite unique, so please buy enough yarn to complete your project.
I try hard to represent each colorway as I see it IRL, but please keep in mind that colors may vary from monitor to monitor, also light affect what you see.
