Sassenach is a beautiful sustainable and traceable US Merino Bulky weight yarn. This Merino wool is smooth and soft, making it the ideal choice for garments worn close to the skin. Garments made from worsted wool are resilient to everyday use and will quickly regain its shape with proper care. Sourced from farms that follow quality animal husbandry and environmental practices. No animals are injured as the mill only uses shorn wool or wool that has shed naturally from the animal.
