Made by a traditional mill in County Donegal, Ireland, it feels authentic and alive on your knitting needles, rooted in community and deeply connected to Ireland's storied landscapes and wool-making heritage.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Yarn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIrish wool from family farms is at Heathland Wool's warm, robust heart. The fiber comes from a variety of sheep breeds adapted to the island's damp, cool climate. This wool is lively, resilient, and insulating, with a wonderfully woolly, toothy texture. Best of all, the Irish wool is 100% traceable, down to the individual farms that raise the sheep and specially grade their wool for the mill. To soften the hand without losing its distinctly rustic, sheep-y character, Heathland Wool combines 60% Irish wool with 40% wool from New Zealand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur partner mill dyes the wool and artfully blends the colors to create richly nuanced heathers, and then cards and spins the fiber into yarn. They draw on centuries of tradition and generations of expertise to create a timeless yarn that is as joyful to knit as it is resilient to wind, weather, and wear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeathland Wool is woolen-spun from fluffy carded roving, trapping lots of air in each ply and making the yarn lightweight and warm, with a slightly hazy, fuzzy finish. Its two lofty plies create a loose structure that maximizes bloom and body, while wool's natural crimp and elasticity give the yarn wonderful memory, helping your knits hold their shape for years and years to come.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSitting right at the intersection of DK and worsted weight, Heathland Wool spans a wide range of gauges thanks to its ability to expand and fill every gap between stitches. Stunning in a swath of stockinette, defined and dimensional in a cable knit, and a dream for colorwork knitting... There are so many things you'll want to make with this yarn! Knit with it on the dense side for warm, sturdy hats and mittens or more loosely for sweaters, scarves, and more, and find tons of inspiration in our growing collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.purlsoho.com\/create\/category\/all-knitting-patterns\/filter-heathland-wool\/\"\u003eHeathland Wool knitting patterns\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"none\" lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW97245364 BCX0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW97245364 BCX0\"\u003eExplore a seriously beautiful palette of earthy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2Themed SCXW97245364 BCX0\"\u003eheathered colors drawn from the foggy moors, green fields, and sparkling waters of this yarn's Irish home.
