Have you worked with WoolDreamers Saona yet? Saona is a rich blend of Merino and Manchega wools and Andalusian cotton. The fibres are woolen-spun, so it has the structure to make heritage wardrobe staples, with the lightness we love for the ever-humid weather in the DMV. 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 rich heritage of Spanish sheep ranching. Read more and check out pattern picks for Saona on our Captain’s Log.
