Description

As with all of Rosa Poma's yarns, Matiz is grown, scoured, milled and dyed in Portugal. The yarn is a blend of  wool from the Portuguese native breeds of Campaniça and Merino Preto. It has been worsted spun to create a susprisingly soft and squishy yarn. The colour pallette is created from mixing different shades of dyed-in-the-wool fleece to make a range of heathered colours with unusual depth.

Don't be decieved by the meterage - this yarn will easily deliver a proper aran-weight gauge  (16 sts to 10cm) and if you want to go looser still, you can take your stitches all the way to a chunky 14 stitch gauge without any daylight between the stitches. It's a perfect choice for warm and cozy sweaters, quick-knit hats and scarves, and  very well suited to textured knitting such as brioche and cables.

Matiz has not been superwash treated so we recommend hand washing and drying flat.

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 their manufacturing process to create honest, planet-conscious yarns.
