Description

Mondim is the perfect yarn for knitters who love making socks but who prefer to avoid artificial fibres and superwash treatments.  The wool has been deliberately selected from the baturally strong, fine fibre of Portuguese native Campaniça sheep. This and the 3ply high twist of the spinning all contributes to making this yarn as strong as possible whilst minimising its impact on the environment.
Although labelled as a sock yarn, Mondim is a super option for garments and accessories that will benefit from being hard wearing and permanently free of any bobbling.

The yarn is named after a Portuguese village once famous for its sock knitting cottage industry.

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.
