Pegulhal is a fingering weight yarn for knitters who like non superwash woolly yarns, dyed in the wool and ideal for stranded knitting projects. It is made from different native Portuguese wools. Our most recent batch is made with Campaniça and Black Merino. Shade 01 and 20 are undyed natural white and natural brown, respectively. Shade 20 is made exclusively from the wool of the very few living black Campaniça sheep. Only one small batch is made yearly and availability of this shade is very limited. Due to higher production costs, Pegulhal 20 is priced differently to other shades. Pegulhal will bloom and soften considerably after being washed. We recommend washing and blocking your swatch to determine gauge. Pegulhal is made from the wool of free range sheep. Mulesing is not practised in Portugal. Not bleached and non superwash. Grown, scoured, milled and dyed in Portugal.
