Mungo is an ideal all-seasons 4 strand worsted to aran weight yarn blending the bounce of wool with the drape of cotton into a slubby, textured yarn perfect for the sort of casual sweater you would throw on to watch the sun go down around a beach side campfire or to crunch through the first falling leaves of autumn. Its smooth worsted spin means that it has a good stitch definition should you wish to add cables or lace to your garment.

Mungo seeks to be kinder to the environment using recycled cotton yarn entirely sourced from waste generated by Portuguese spinning mills and recycled wool sourced from Portugal and/or Spain.

This yarn is not superwash treated or mercerised so we recommend hand washing and drying flat particularly, as cotton garments have a habit of drooping if dried whilst hanging.

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.
