This beautiful set of handspun yarn is hand dyed in shades of green, blue and yellow. Polwarth is a super soft and squishy wool that's perfect for next-to-skin items, and the high silk content provides beautiful drape and luxurious softness. Great for weaving too!

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 DK weight yarn as shown.

Blend contains:
60% Polwarth wool
40% Tussah silk

271 yds
3.6 oz
12-14 wpi
