If you have ever met Steve in the shop you will know that this yarn is his favourite. You can tell it is because whenever he walks past it he developes a serious drooling problem and I have to send him into the stockroom to dry out! | | This yarn is handmade in Uruguay by an all female cooperative. Handspun, hand-dyed, and left to dry in the sun. |

| the natural materials for this yarn are sourced locally, the sheep themselves feed on grass pastures that have never in their eons ever seen a manmade chemical. | | These yarns are used worldwide by all the top fashion designers you could think of. A 100g hank has 270m and is priced at £11.00 and I have done some research into this and found that that is still £1.00 less than Rowans mass machine produced equivalent! |
