Mungo by Retrosaria

Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Mungo is an adaptable light worsted weight yarn that bridges the gap between seasons with a practical blend of recycled wool and cotton. With a sophisticated selection of colors that showcase a natural flecked earthiness, choosing just one favorite will be your biggest challenge. This Portuguese yarn transforms pre-consumer textile waste into a versatile fiber that brings conscience and visual depth to your knitting or crochet projects.

Mungo is the yarn for projects that work overtime in your wardrobe. Think Joji's Super Simple Summer Sweater that transitions seamlessly from air-conditioned offices to fall walks, winter layering, and the unpredictability of spring. Mungo's balanced fiber content means your finished items won't be too warm for summer or too cool for winter.

The 4-ply construction delivers excellent stitch definition for textured patterns and colorwork, while the heathered quality adds organic depth that elevates simple stockinette into something special. Portuguese mills have perfected the art of spinning discarded fibers into stunning yarn, and Mungo proves that sustainable choices don't require compromising on beauty or performance. The natural aesthetic creates visual interest that works equally well in one-color garments with complex stitch patterns and others with stripes or colorwork.
