One of our favorite yarn brands has released an amazing new yarn this year – Woolfolk Fleck. This is a lusciously soft sport weight with flecks of neutral on neutral bases. Woolfolk yarns combine the highest quality wool with ethical, sustainable practices. Woolfolk brings this exquisitely soft and lustrous fiber in handknitting yarns that preserves the unique attributes of this luxurious wool.
Inspired by the wild landscapes of Oregon’s coast, Fleck is an on-trend Donegal that gives a timeless tweedy look with the signature softness that Woolfolk Ultimate Merino is known for. To accompany this scrumptious new yarn, Wookfolk has come out with a lovely collection of patterns that can be found below.
