$20.00Non-superwash wool is wool in its natural state, without the treatments used to make wool machine washable. It retains the fiber's natural elasticity, allowing stitches to spring back into place and helping finished garments hold their shape beautifully over time.
Many knitters love wool for its character and versatility. It creates crisp stitch definition for cables and textured patterns, offers gentle structure for sweaters and accessories, and develops beautifully with wear. Because the fibers can lightly felt together during blocking, non-superwash wool often produces smooth, cohesive fabrics with excellent durability.
Our collection includes a selection of traditional wool yarns made from fibers like merino, lambswool, and other natural wool breeds. Some are wonderfully soft for next-to-the-skin garments, while others offer a more rustic character that's perfect for timeless sweaters, colorwork, and heirloom projects.
Unlike superwash wool, non-superwash yarns generally require gentle hand washing and careful drying to preserve their shape. Many find this small amount of extra care well worth it for the warmth, resilience, and distinctive feel that natural wool provides.
Whether you're making a cozy sweater, a warm hat, a classic shawl, or a pair of mittens, non-superwash wool offers the beauty, durability, and timeless appeal that have made wool a favorite fiber for generations.
