We love working with Prosper Yarn to bring you this luscious, colorful product!
Here’s what Prosper Yarn has to say about Brushtail:
BRUSHTAIL is pure New Zealand; a magical combination of 70% Polwarth and 30% Possum fibre, woollen spun to create one of the softest, warmest yarns on earth. This is the perfect yarn for a very special hat, scarf, or mitten – but it truly shines as a garment because of its lightweight and high loft. Even the most textured, cablyist (lots of cables), big turtle necked, lumberjack sweaters will seem like a down jacket! Because of its loft – this yarn can also work in 10ply/worsted gauge patterns.
This yarn is untreated making it an eco friendly option.
