Brushtale Possum & Merino Wool DK 50g - Red
A gorgeous recycled wool yarn! Weft Knitting Co specialises in manufacturing jumpers and other clothing items using New Zealand Merino wool and possum fibres. This yarn is made by recycling bits of garment off-cuts and leftover yarn. The materials are shredded and sent down the road to be carded, blended with virgin wool and spun into this beautifully soft knitting yarn. Turning what is normally a waste stream into a first grade, high quality product.
