Falkland

Wool from the Falkland Islands does not come from a single breed, but from several types of sheep, mainly Polwarth, Merino, and Corriedale, raised in the unique, clean, and cold conditions of the islands near South America. It has a good structure, is soft yet strong, and suitable for various processing techniques. It is mainly used for hand spinning, weaving, knitting sweaters, scarves, hats, socks, making carpets, blankets, upholstery, traditional costume elements, home textiles, as well as for both dry and wet felting.
