During the 1880s, in what is a love story for the ages, Merino and Lincoln sheep fell in love and had Polwarth lambs. Or, if you want just the facts and only the facts, some 1880s Australians really liked the wool from Merinos, but wanted hardier sheep; they bred Merinos and Lincolns together, and poof! The Polwarth was born.

We still like the love story version the best.

This DK weight Polwarth is very soft and springy yarn that is perfect for your next project. This yarn will make some wonderfully warm and cozy sweaters, scarves, and caps, while also being perfect for your home decor projects such as pillows and blankets.
