This week, we are adding two new colors of one of our favorite new yarns – Saona! A rich blend of Merino, Manchega, and Andulisian cotton, this yarn has the structure to make heritage wardrobe staples with the lightness we love for the ever-humid weather in the DMV. The two new colors in this collection have been designed in collaboration between WoolDreamers and Hailey Smedley (@Ozetta). We’re delighted to see them adding two new colors to the range. WoolDreamers is one of our favorite companies for their commitment to revitalizing the wool industry in Spain. Each of their yarns is developed with a thoughtful process and a right heritage of Spanish sheep ranching.
