Guided by a philosophy that believes in combining the highest quality wool with ethical, sustainable practices, Woolfolk creates exceptionally soft yarns that deliver an unparalleled knitting experience. Soft & pillowy, Fleck Bulky is a sumptuous blend of Ultimate Merino wool & Donegal tweed. Ultimate Merino hails from the Patagonian Grasslands & has a micron count of 17.5 making it cashmere soft with the durability of merino. Studded with bits of Donegal Tweed, this bulky weight yarn knits up into luxe hats, mittens, cowls, scarves & warm garments. The yarn has a chain construction to help knits hold their shape, while providing lovely stitch definition. The curated collection of neutrals is ideal for all of your cold weather knits. It is also a very special gift knit yarn that will truly be appreciated.
