100% Peruvian wool: Made from 100% Peruvian Highland wool, Knit Picks Wool of the Andes is the perfect yarn for projects that will get used daily, like your favorite sweater, hat, or blanket. Peruvian Highland wool is a strong fiber that has an excellent balance of structure, loft, and drape. As a "sticky" wool–meaning the fibers grip lightly together, Knit Picks Wool of the Andes is an ideal choice for both stranded colorwork and intarsia because stitches "stick" in place, won’t shift or loosen as you work.
