This sumptuous yarn is hand dyed in a beautiful mottled gradient, gradually shifting from shades of pink to purple, with many tones of each color within. Polwarth is a soft and squishy wool that feels wonderful next to the skin, and the mulberry silk adds luxurious shine and drape. Plenty of yardage in this skein for a variety of project ideas, though a shawl would really make this yarn pop. Also makes a lovely gift for the weaver or knitter in your life!

Polwarth sheep are originally Australian and are named after Polwarth - a region near Colac in Victoria. Polwarth are a cross between the Merino and Lincoln breeds. At 23.5 microns, their fleece is super soft and the resulting yarn is full of bounce and very suitable for next to skin wear.

This listing is for ONE skein of Lace weight yarn, as shown.

Blend contains:
70% Polwarth wool
30% Mulberry silk

598 yds
3.8 oz

This yarn was spun on my Lendrum ST wheel in a smoke free, pet friendly environment.

This yarn will felt. If that is not your intention, please be sure to handwash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry.

If you would like it in a center pull ball, please let me know during checkout.
