Toulouse - 100g 4 ply/sock-weight Organic Poll Dorset

$22.74 (100g 4 ply Organic Poll Dorset - Toulouse)

100 gm plant dyed Organic Poll Dorset, from an organically certified flock raised in France, combed and spun to a fine 4/14 for use as 4-ply.

Springy and strong, with a light lustre and bags of versatility.

Toulouse is hand dyed with madder, in the 12th century the wild madder would have been dug up from the local pastures where it still abounds today.

100gm is approximately 344m, i.e. 3.53 oz is approximately 376 yards.

We recommend that you use 2.25m - 3.75 m (US 1 -5) knitting needles depending on the project undertaken.

Hand wash in warm water, wash dark colours separately for a while, this is the type of wool that gets even better with age.
