These absolutely beautiful wool yarns are a dream to use, either for knitting, crochet or weaving. They can be felted and overdyed. The wool fleece is not chlorinated and the yarns are untreated. That is, after scouring and PH balance there are NO CHEMICAL treatments to the tops or yarns; such as dyes, anti-pill, pre shrink, machine washable. The lubricant used during spinning is water soluble. With so many people sensitive to wool, we felt it may be the modern chemical treatments used and not the wool causing the sensitivity. With Gentle care of your woollen garment you will be well rewarded with a garment that is pure and natural. |
