Spun and dyed in Latvia, Europe, this single-ply fingering yarn has an authentic woolen feel, gentle liveliness in the strand, and the kind of natural depth that makes handmade fabric feel rich, warm, and full of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"566\" data-end=\"946\"\u003eUnlike overly polished modern yarns, this blend keeps a more natural personality. The Latvian sheep wool brings structure, resilience, and classic woolen warmth, while the Latvian merino softens the hand and adds balance.
