Our classic Wool of the Andes worsted wool yarn is spun and plied carefully to achieve a balanced twist. Spun from Peruvian wool, the strong fiber has an excellent balance of structure, loft and drape that serves a wide variety of uses. Wonderfully warm for all weather, this sturdy, all-purpose yarn has excellent stitch definition and heirloom durability. It is ideal for cabled sweaters, textured stitch afghans, and every day accessories. While careful hand washing will keep your stitches crisp and sweaters long-lived, Wool of the Andes also felts beautifully with warm water and agitation, creating a fabric even more warm and durable than knitting alone.
