Ecological Wool,
made in Peru
|
Ecological Wool is a soft, pure, undyed Peruvian Highland wool yarn. It is packed in 250 gr hanks, and is suitable for any types of hand knitting, felting, and home decor projects, including blankets and afghans. Natural White colour is great for dyeing.
Did you know? "Proving that record-seeking is a truly international sport, Peruvian stitchers have gotten into the act. During the summer 2010, they knit up 1,800 knitted swatches that were joined into a massive 40-by-40cm sweater, three times larger than the previous Largest Sweater in the World. The sweater, unveiled in Lima during World Wide Knit in Public Week, was sponsored by Peru’s Education Ministry and Coats Cadena; the individual pieces will be converted into ponchos that will be sent to children who live in the Andean highlands to stave off the extreme cold there." - source: Yarn Market News, August 2010 eUpdate.
