Life in the Longgrass Highland DK

This yarn is made from a blend of Corriedale, Merino, and other wools, sourced from sheep roaming the Peruvian Highlands. The wool is completely untreated, which gives it a more rustic, woolly feel while preserving the integrity of the natural fibers.

Key Features:

• Fiber Content: 100% Untreated Non-Superwash Highland Wool (a blend of Corriedale, Merino, and other wools)

• Meterage: 225 meters per 100g skein

• Recommended Needle Size: 4mm upwards (US 6 or larger)

• Gauge: Typically works at 22-24 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) on 4mm needles, depending on your tension.

• Care Instructions: Hand wash gently in cold water and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing, as this could cause the wool to felt.

• Dyeing Process: Dyed with non-toxic acid dyes and low-impact fiber-reactive dyes, ensuring an eco-friendly approach to coloring.

Characteristics:

• Rustic Yet Soft: Although untreated, the wool has a soft handle, with a distinct rustic texture that adds warmth and character to projects. This natural texture works particularly well for creating textured stitches, such as in colorwork or cable designs.

• Variations in Tone: As an untreated yarn, the wool takes on color tonally, which means there will be some variation in color across skeins, contributing to a beautiful, organic, and natural aesthetic.

• Durability: Due to the untreated nature of the wool, it is more durable and holds up well over time, making it perfect for garments that see daily wear such as sweaters, cardigans, and shawls.
