Pure Rambouillet (Ram-bwee-yay) wool yarn is a treat! Many people call it “Rambo” for short. This yarn is heavy worsted weight, with approx. 196 yards in each 4 oz. skein. It is NON-superwash, all natural, bouncy plump goodness. Rambouillet is a breed of sheep that is sometimes referred to a “French Merino,” & it is Merino-soft (19-21 microns). If you’ve ever spun Rambouillet fiber you will have seen how springy it is, & how it really blooms in the finishing process. Those properties are both on full display in this mill-spun yarn. It is squishy & very plump. I am excited to offer this option for people who want this weight yarn, & who like non-superwash options. My gauge is about 4 stitches/inch on US #6 (4 mm) or #7 (4.5 mm) needles. This yarn is dyed in gold, copper, bits of wine & sand. Hand wash only, cold. Line dry. Not superwash!"
