Description

At first sight Brusca may appear quite stern and rustic but it only takes a squeeze to discover its soft heart. A closer look reveals that it is a woollen spun 2ply blend of Portuguese Saloia and Portuguese Merino knitting to a proper DK weight gauge. Non super wash, and uncharacteristically smooth for a woollen-spun, Brusca is light enough for a Hackney autumn but still cosy and reasonably quick to knit.From texture to cables and colour work we can’t speak highly enough of this versatile and affordable yarn.

Rosa Pomar has played a pioneering role in championing yarns made from the wool of native Portuguese sheep breeds. Her work has been game-changing for hand knitters and has helped inspire a generation of independent wool makers who involve farmers and shepherds in their manufacturing process to create honest, planet-conscious yarns.
