-
Peruvian Highland Wool from Filcolana is an Aran (Worsted) weight wool. It is a classic 4-thread wool yarn made of 100% pure, new wool. The wool comes from Peruvian highland sheep which are a cross between corriedale and merino. These sheep graze in the Peruvian highlands, which contributes to the wool's characteristic fullness and beautiful softness.
Peruvian Highland Wool is worsted spun, meaning that the yarn is round and extremely regular. This gives a nice stitch definition and makes it the ideal yarn for twists, textured knits and multi-coloured knits.
Suitable for all kinds of knitting and crochet projects for children and adults, as well as for quilting and felting.
Mulesing is not used on the Peruvian highland sheep.
