This wool is 21.5 micron Merino sourced from Punta Arenas, a region in southern Chile known for sheep ranching. Unlike our wool labeled as Punta Arenas, which is a blend of breeds including Merino, this is single-breed roving. Like all Merino, it has a very soft hand, a matte finish, and can be used for many kinds of projects.

Our rovings are dyed with fairly even distribution of colors. Photos are of each side of the coil, so you can see as much of the color as possible. These are the same rovings from which Ilga spins her yarns, so we dye them for that.

We name our braids based on the inspirations we get from the colors, drawing on nature, literature, mythology, geography, and our lives and travels. Braids with the same name numbered sequentially are a matched set that were dyed together, although they may have different weights and look slightly different in the photos. Each colorway is unique; we may sometimes repeat names, when a new colorway strikes us the same way as an older one.
