Opal Schafpate 14 - Winterweide (Colors 11190-11197) is a wear-resistant yarn made from 75% virgin wool (superwash) and 25% polyamide in 8 natural colorways. Ideally suited for knitting cozy warm socks with unique color patterns, but of course also for sweaters, cardigans, hats, gloves, scarves or cuddly toys. Opal is back for the fourteenth year with their beloved Schafpate collection. The yarn from this collection is made from a rare breed of German sheep wool. A share of the profit from the Schafpate 14 Winterweide collection will be invested towards the protection of German migratory sheep farming and Opal is proud to share with their customers that over 165,000 euros have been collected for this cause throughout the years!
As for wool obtained from this unique breed of sheep, it is very soft on the skin, non-shrinking and hard-wearing. Thanks to the superwash treatment, the material is easy to care for and is also machine washable up to 104ᵒF. From one ball of yarn you can knit one pair of socks (up to US men's 10 1/2).
