Ficolana's Highland Peruvian Wool comes from the Peruvian Highland sheep, a crossbreed between corriedale and merino. The sheep graze on the Peruvian highlands, which contributes to the wool being extra fluffy and beautifully matt looking. Peruvian is worsted spun, which makes the strand round and very even. This gives a beautiful stitch definition and therefore Peruvian is extremely suitable for cables, texture patterns and stranded knitting.
Peruvian is suitable for all kinds of projects – knitting or crochet for both children and adults, and the work can be felted. The fine assortment of colours only helps to give creativity free rein. Mulesing is not used on Peruvian highland sheeps.
This wool is perfect for holding with silk mohair lace to create a light airy chunky weight. 15 sts x 22 row / 10 x 10 cm. Peruvian and Tilia knitted together on 6 mm needles.
Peruvian is a cost effective work horse yarn, and perfect for sweaters and accessories and can also be used for felting projects.
