Ideal Collection

A six-piece capsule collection featuring our new-for-Fall yarn, Ideal (pronounced ee-DAY-al)!
• 
Named after the Uruguayan term for the Polwarth sheep, Ideal is a worsted weight yarn crafted from 100% Uruguayan Polwarth wool.

Ideal is a 4-ply, worsted weight, non-superwash yarn that is sourced, spun, and hand-dyed in Uruguay.

We are curating an extensive color palette for Ideal, beginning with 20+ colors in both semi-solid and space-dyed shades.

Construction Notes: 
The lower body is worked in one piece to the underarms, back and forth in rows, using a long circular needle to accommodate the number of stitches. At the underarms, the body divides for working the upper back and fronts separately. After joining the shoulders, stitches for each sleeve are picked up around the armhole opening and working in the round down to the cuffs.
