Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Mondim

Retrosaria Rosa Pomar's Mondim yarn is named after the village once renowned for its cottage sock-knitting industry. This fingering weight yarn, primarily spun from native Campaniça sheep into a fine non-superwash yarn that celebrates the tradition and organic beauty of minimally processed fiber.

A 3-ply wool construction, Mondim is strong enough for hard-wearing socks and refined enough for delicate shawls, while traces of natural vegetation remind you of the pastoral origins that make Portuguese wool so distinctive.

Mondim's color story embraces the pure poetry of natural, undyed shades, each showcasing wool in its authentic state, and beautiful, artisanal dyed colorways. The variegated skeins are machine-dyed, resulting in subtle batch variations that ensure no two projects will ever be the same. This organic inconsistency becomes part of your project’s unique character.

Whether you're knitting socks that honor Mondim village's heritage, crocheting a shawl that showcases the yarn's excellent drape, or knitting colorwork that plays with the natural depth found in every skein, this yarn brings conscience and authenticity to projects. Free-range sheep, ethical practices, and Portuguese expertise from pasture to skein make Mondim a choice you can feel good about wearing.
