Description

Pegulhal is a beautifully woolly fingering-weight, 100% Portuguese wool yarn with a rustic hand and wonderful depth of character. Dyed in the wool, it has softly heathered color and a natural texture that gives knitted fabric warmth, life, and that timeless heritage look we love. Its a true wool lovers yarn, honest, sturdy, and full of charm.

Pegulhal is especially lovely for stranded colorwork, where its woolly grip and depth of color help motifs shine, but its also a great choice for fine sweaters, mittens, hats, and other heirloom-quality accessories. It softens and blooms beautifully after blocking, creating fabric that wears well over time.
