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 the round to the underarms, then divided for working the upper back and fronts separately, back and forth in rows.
