Xolla Peülla is a fingering-weight sock yarn. It is a mix of 60% wool from the endangered Ripollesa breed from Cataluña, northeastern Spain and 40% of Spanish merino.
The Ripollesa wool is sourced from two farms: Xai de les Vilas in Osona and Cal Sabater de Nevà, a transhumant herd that grazes in Pla de l'Estany and Ripollès.
Natural, untreated, mulesing-free wool. The dye bath is Oeko-Tex certified.
It is very important to make a swatch and wash it, because the yarn becomes softer after washing and the knitting tension can change.
Very suitable for socks and lighter garments and accessories.
Available in 12colours, some of which are marled.
Peülla means hoof.
