Just Landed – Kelbourne Woolens Andorra

Just Landed – Kelbourne Woolens Andorra

Kelbourne Woolens Andorra has landed in space! Andorra is a classic sport weight wool and mohair yarn with a vintage feel. This blend of soft merino, bouncy highland wool, and strong, sleek mohair makes Andorra a favorite for sweaters with the perfect drape and feel. The mohair is not brushed, so it is not overly fluffy and provides a subtle haze, strength, and sheen. Andorra also shines as a natural alternative for sock knitting. Its mohair content provides exceptional strength, comparable to nylon, but without synthetic fibers. With a gorgeous color palette of neutrals, warm earth tones, and cool blues and purples, Andorra is perfect for garments and accessories alike. Come check out Andorra in Space!
