Aljorxe is a mix of Saloia sheep wool and alpaca wool, both sourced in the region of Évora, Portugal. This is a limited edition yarn. Aljorxe will bloom and soften considerably after being washed. We recommend washing and blocking your swatch to determine gauge.

Aljorxe is made from the wool of free range sheep. Mulesing is not practised in Portugal. Not bleached and non superwash.

Grown, scoured, milled and dyed in Portugal.
