100% Superwash New Zealand Polwarth Wool

Soft, strong and lustrous.
This wonderful wool is from the New Zealand Polwarth sheep, an old sheep breed combining 75% merino and 25% Lincoln. The fiber is similar to merino but with more sheen, so sleek, springy and lustrous. It is worsted spun from long staple fibers to produce a yarn that is silky and smooth. Good stitch definition. Ideal for socks, gloves, jumpers and items that require some strength.
