Opal Schafpate 16 Porträääh! 4-ply 10x100g

Opal Schafpate 16 Porträääh is a wear-resistant yarn made from 75% virgin wool (superwash) and 25% polyamide in 8 self-striping colourways. Ideally suited for knitting cosy warm socks with unique colour patterns, but of course also for sweaters, cardigans, hats, gloves, scarves or cuddly toys. Opal is back for the sixteenth year with their beloved Schafpate collection. The yarn from this collection is made from a rare breed of German sheep wool. A share of the profit from the Schafpate 16 Porträääh collection will be invested towards the protection of German migratory sheep farming and Opal is proud to share with their customers that over 222.000 euros have been collected for this cause throughout the years!

As for wool obtained from this unique breed of sheep, it is very soft on the skin, non-shrinking and hard-wearing. Thanks to the superwash treatment, the material is easy to care for and is also machine washable up to 40ᵒC. From one ball of yarn you can knit one pair of socks (up to size 44). The yarn is suitable for needle sizes 2.00-2.50mm and is available in 8 colours. One ball of Opal Schafpate 16 Porträääh 4-ply yarn weighs 100 grams and holds 425 metres of yarn. Supplied per 10 balls.
