A beautiful traditional Dutch yarn.
This yarn is a blend of wool from traditional Dutch sheep and Alpaca. Traditional Dutch sheep give a tough, rough wool and the alpaca makes it a bit softer. This way, this wool stays just below the itching point for most people. The sand, taupe and natural off-white are the natural colors of the sheep and the alpacas. The dark blue is GOTS certified washed and dyed, which means that it is dyed with as less harmful dyes as possible.
The yarn is visible on our website in a sweater named Dirko and Aggie.
There is about 120 meters on a 100 gram ball of Dutch Wool. Please knit a test piece first and wash it to check the number of rows and stitches.
