Perfect for worsted or semi-worsted techniques, it yields strong, balanced yarns ideal for outerwear, shawls, or textured knits.
For Felting: Its medium micron count and natural grip make it a favorite for both needle and wet felting. The dual tones can be manipulated for shading, realistic effects, or organic surface patterns especially in sculpture or felted landscapes.
