Whoops! Sometimes mistakes lead to something unexpectedly wonderful. That’s the case with Whoopsland, our first attempt at creating a tweed-free version of our beloved Woodland yarn. This luxurious blend of 80% merino and 20% alpaca strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and refined elegance. With just enough alpaca to add warmth and softness, this Merino-based yarn is ideal for winter wear and gentle enough for next-to-skin projects. Its loose, gentle twist provides excellent thermal efficiency, drape, and stitch definition.

During production, we found that this tweed-free version had slightly more pilling than expected post-dyeing. Rather than letting it go to waste, we’re offering it at a special discounted price, letting you enjoy premium yarn at an exceptional value.

Despite the minor pilling, the high Merino content ensures superb stitch definition, making it perfect for textured or cabled designs, whether you’re aiming for a cottage-core vibe or a more classic style. This limited-edition yarn is soft enough for accessories and versatile enough for a variety of projects. Don’t miss your chance to experience Whoopsland—a premium yarn with a bit of added character, available at a budget-friendly price.
