We're always looking for ways to remove plastic from our lives, especially in our most beloved fiber - wool! So when we saw that Rosa was making a sock weight yarn that is not superwash treated and does not contain nylon (which is plastic!), we jumped at the chance to carry it and offer it to you. We find that though superwash may add convenience to people's lives, as it is machine-washable, some of the wonderful benefits of untreated wool fibers are missing. We have found that socks made of untreated wool offer greater breathability and warmth because wool wicks moisture away.
Mondim is a wonderful choice for socks, accessories like shawls and cowls, and lightweight sweaters.
Patterns we love for this yarn and pictured:
- Natasja Hornby's shawl
- Orlane Sucche's pullover
- Andrea Mowry's socks
- Hiromi Nagasawa hat
Hand wash only.
