Helix Short Jumper - 100% Pure Wool - Chestnut

New! A sculptural chunky knit jumper, knitted in The Woollykins Knittery - our very own Knit Studio in Castlemaine! The Helix jumper has a highly textured stitch pattern creating an armour-like, insulating and springy fabric, knit in a 100% untreated mulesing-free wool. This beautiful yarn has a more rugged handfeel than pure merino. The textural qualities are enhanced by the parallelogram stitch patterning along the body and sleeves, creating an undulating pattern. This yarn has great elasticity, firmness and recovery and is a sensory delight to our wool loving hands. Like the Moss Crop the style is boxy with drop sleeves. This stitch pattern traps pockets of air making it extra insulating. This yarn is spun and dyed in Italy from 27 micron pure highland wool and is untreated for felting, sustainably grown and mulesing free. Andean highland wool comes from a crossbreed sheep that lives at high altitudes over 2000ft in the Andes and is managed by traditional shepherds in the high country. The sheep is a cross between Merino and Corriedale and the wool has exceptional strength, elasticity and warmth. Small runs and available in two colours Blue Melange and Chestnut listed separately.
