Description

Queensland’s Falkland Worsted Yarn is a cozy, squishy, worsted weight yarn made of 100% fine merino wool harvested from sheep ethically raised in the Falkland Islands where the sheep can roam free. This wool is soft, though can feel a little dry right out of the hank – but not itchy at all. A gentle cleanser or a wool wash, like Eucalan (pssst, or a silicone-free human hair conditioner you might already have on hand), will cure that dryness and make it really soft. It is a hardwearing making it the perfect yarn for cozy wearables and accessories, but also home decor items like blankets and pillows. While this yarn is not superwash, you’ll love how easy projects are to care for being a machine washable wool.

If you’re interested, this yarn is also available as a Chunky Weight #5 Yarn.
