This worsted weight yarn base is made from Peruvian Highland wool, spun with a delicious, crispy squish. While not necessarily soft enough for sensitive skin, this yarn is wonderfully durable and versatile, a true “workhorse worsted” of the yarn world.

Rustic Worsted comes in hanks of 100g with approximately 220yds per skein. This yarn has a matte, almost glowing finish, and tends to take colorways in a softer and more blended character.

This yarn base should be washed by hand in cool water, preferably using a wash or detergent designed for wool. Sharp temperature changes and agitation while wet can cause felting. Hot water or inappropriate cleaners can be too harsh for hand-dyed colors.
