Coming from happy sheep from the mountains of Bulgaria.

Suitable for felting, too.

The wool has been sourced from sheep from the mountains in Bulgaria and has been processed following old Bulgarian methods, without using any chemicals. In this way the wool preserves all its natural qualities. It is healthy and naturally flexible, water resistant and temperature adjustable – keeping the body warm or cool, anti static and anti allergic, lasts longer than man made yarn.

As it is raw yarn, it will feel softer after washing.

A few more reasons why you should buy Bulgarian wool:

** Buying Bulgarian wool means it’s very eco-friendly yarn as sheep are free range.

** You’re supporting Bulgarian farming.

** The wool comes from a breed which has evolved over the past 500 years in the country and is perfectly suited to the climate it is bred in. The end result really is something special and reflects not just the sheep’s breed but also diet, climate and traditional farming methods. Sheep live happy and free in the Bulgarian mountains enjoying fresh air and fields full of herbs.
