⌁ Texture & Feel
DUNDAGA 6/1 is a lightweight single-ply yarn spun from a refined blend of Latvian sheep wool and merino. It carries a naturally rustic texture, slightly coarse to the touch at first but gradually softens after washing. Because it is not carbonized and retains up to 70% lanolin, this yarn offers exceptional warmth, water resistance, and breathability. Sensitive skin may find it scratchy unwashed, but the transformation post-wash reveals a gentle, lofted halo and comfortable drape.

➤ Color & Dyeing
This listing features solid colorways — hand-dyed in small artisan batches with subtle tonal variations. The depth of color and richness of tone reflect traditional Baltic dye techniques, making each skein timeless and one-of-a-kind.

Please Note

• Skeins are individually weighed and priced accordingly
• Small variations in weight (±5g) are normal due to the artisanal process
