The theme for the 2026 Chicago Yarn Crawl is a celebration of 100 Years of Route 66. We chose Wooldreamers 90 Varas for our project, the Guaranteed Passage kerchief, because the sheep that made it are experienced travelers. 90 Varas is sourced from Spanish flocks that still travel the ancient drove roads following the rhythm of the seasons. Flocks that move, that graze, that care for the land without even knowing it, simply because it is their way of life. The name 90 Varas refers to the traditional width of these historic routes which is about 75 meters wide, the width that guarantees passage for full flocks to journey across the country. Kit includes:(3) 50g skeins of Wooldreamers 90 Varas yarn, (1) skein each in colors A, B, and C225m / 246yd, 50g per skein100% transhumant merino woolThere is enough yarn in the kit to make the kerchief and the coordinating hat included in the pattern.
