Mondim is the perfect yarn for knitters who love making socks but prefer working with yarns that haven’t been processed with a superwash treatment or blended with nylon.  The fibre has been specially chosen from the strong, fine wool of Portuguese native Campaniça sheep, and the 3ply high twist of the spinning all contributes to making this yarn as strong as possible whilst doing as little harm to the environment as possible.

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.
