Manchelopis is a soft and airy unspun yarn produced entirely in the region of Castilla-La Mancha, a land rich with history and the home of Wooldreamers!

This unique collection was created to honour the Manchega sheep, a breed native to the region, and the source of the well-known Manchego cheese. Commonly raised for dairy rather than their wool with Manchelopis we aim to highlight the value of this natural fiber.

The "wheel" or "cheese" comes in a 100g format. The unspun 2 ply structure of this yarn allows for it to be worked at a variety of gauges depending on the desired fabric.

Note:

As it is an unspun yarn, it is very delicate and it can break. If it does break, no problem - rub one end against the other, and the thread will rejoin. It may seem fragile, but once knitted, it will not break.
