Woolia | Orange 228
Gepard
Spun from the wool of lambs and sheep of the heirloom breed Gentile Di Puglia, the original Merino sheep breed, comes Gepard’s latest line of organic wool yarn - Woolia.
Forget what you thought you knew about Merino, Woolia is completely unique. Featuring a distinctive dry hand-feel, Woolia is springy and crisp to the touch. And believe it or not, this unique texture makes it completely pill free!
You’ll also notice its lightness and loft, having around 30% more yardage than other yarns of the same thickness.
Workable at a range of gauges, Woolia will suit everything from shawls and accessories to sweaters and outwear.
