ラトビア ウール毛糸 Latvian Wool Yarn 25g

Latvian yarn made of 100% wool.

This yarn is imported directly from a manufacturer in Latvia, a Baltic country.

It is made little by little in a small town in Latvia surrounded by nature. The color scheme changes with each lot, so the yarn is a once-in-a-lifetime item.

The yarns are sold as a set. The set contains two 25g balls (total 50g), just enough for knitting mittens or socks.

Each gradient yarn has a slightly different color pitch and quantity, but since they are wound from the same yarn, they will come together nicely when made into a work of art. Please note that we cannot specify the yarn balls, but rest assured, we will do our best to make sure that the yarn balls are the right size.
