Woolfolk

Sunday February 26th

Noon to 5pm

Join us on Sunday, and discover the wonders of Portland based Woolfolk.  Woolfolk yarns combine the highest quality wool with ethical, sustainable practices. The fiber they use, Ultimate Merino®, doesn’t happen by chance, but by the innovative efforts of farmers to produce the very best wool fiber, while being land stewards of the Patagonian Grasslands. Woolfolk brings this exquisitely soft and lustrous fiber in handknitting yarns that preserves the unique attributes of this luxurious wool.  Their goal - to inspire a more natural, slow pace of life with yarns that are gentle to the senses and kinder to the environment.

We’ll be highlighting three of Woolfolk’s newest bases – Fleck, Flette Bulky, and Tage.  Stop in to discover these lovely new yarns, as well as all the lines of Woolfolk available at For Yarn’s Sake.

Flette Bulky

Flette means braid. Flette Bulky is the sister of our regular Flette line. Flette Bulky utilizes modern technology to create a textured yarn that is 100% Ultimate Merino that is a delight to knit with, unlike boucles of the past. Flette Bulky knit up fast and is ideal for constructing simple, modern silhouettes.
