Noro Malvinas has arrived with a boom! Malvinas, spun with 100% Falkland Islands Merino wool, is a single-ply woolen spun yarn featuring Noro’s characteristic rustic feel and saturated tones. This generous cake of woolly goodness comes in at a whopping 328 yards per 150 grams. Noro sources this yarn from Merino sheep raised off the coast of Argentina on Las Islas Malvinas (another name for the Falkland Islands). Malvinas is also an excellent choice for felting thanks to its rustic feel and 100% Merino fibre. This yarn makes gorgeous colorwork projects, thanks to its range of vibrant, semi-solid colors.
