Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Pegulhal

Retrosaria Rosa Pomar Pegulhal is a fingering weight 100% Portuguese wool spun from Campaniça and Merino Preto sheep native to Portugal. Pegulhal is authentic dyed-in-the-wool yarn. The fiber is dyed before spinning, creating heathered depth and subtle color variations that make stranded colorwork truly shine. Not bleached or superwashed, Pegulhal is honest wool that blooms and softens beautifully after its first wash, revealing the kind of dimensional color that makes Fair Isle patterns, Nordic designs, and stranded colorwork come alive. This is the yarn for knitters who appreciate wool's natural qualities, ethical farming, and origin transparency. Pegulhal yarn is grown, scoured, milled, and dyed entirely in Portugal from sheep raised without mulesing, with no harsh chemical treatments. Blocking is essential when working with Pegulhal as the fibers will bloom. It pays to slow down, swatch, wash that swatch, and let the fiber reach its natural potential!
