Do you ever feel like you need the perfect wool yarn but find that the color choices are far too limited? We have your back with Friends Wool.
Like any other 100% wool yarn, Friends Wool is elastic, strong, warm, and breathable. It is made out of 4 threads spun together and can be worked with either 4-4,5 mm (US 6-7) knitting needles or a 5-5,5 mm (US H-8 or I-9) crochet hook.
We developed this yarn having in mind that part of the fun when crafting comes from mixing and matching all the different colors. Therefore, we are pretty confident that you will find the perfect ones for your next handmade project. This yarn is the ideal yarn for stranded knitting. Feel free to use this wool for afghans, sweaters, ponchos, cowls, beanies, etc. Friends Wool can also be felted, so you can finally start experimenting with felting baskets, bags, and slippers with this yarn.
Are you ready to embark on your next colorful creation?
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at: https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

I bought several colours to make some basic hats as Christmas presents and the colours were exactly as pictured in the web photo. I made two hats: grey and mustard and black and pumpkin. Both knit up beautifully and the recipients loved them. This is going to be my new basic wool that I purchase, there are many colours and the price is great!
This is definitely a rougher wool, its not coarse by any means, but it isn't going to be super soft like cashmere or even a superwash. It's sturdy and would probably felt wonderfully. That will be my next test: to knit a pair of large socks to felt into slippers.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Such a versatile yarn! This is my first time working with wool because it can be quite scratchy if you don't get a high quality yarn but this intrigued me during a sale and it was perfect for a new pattern I got. I love how it turned out! It's just a little stretchy and SO warm! It's actually really soft and super easy to work with. I would 100% recommend this year to anyone looking for a lighter weight wool yarn!

Sweater Quantities. I purchased sweater quantities of this for myself, my husband, and my daughter. I swatched the brown yarn for my husband's sweater. Per my usual, had to go down needle sizes to get gauge, 5 sts and 7 rows on US 5. Purchased on sale, so a mens 46 is only costing $35. Can't beat that with a stick! Great yarn for the money. Only into the first of 14 balls, so I cannot report on knots or frays.

je fais les stocks de cette laine très régulièrement elle est super polyvalente ! je l'utilise aussi bien pour des pulls que pour des accessoires et elle est toujours très efficace :D en plus la teinture est super constante ce qui permets de mélanger les pelotes sans démarcation visible : c'est top !

Bought this wool to make a jumper and it is so nice to knit with. Soft, shows the patterns nicely and really great quality for such a low price. I used the light grey and the colour was very accurate to the photo. Already trying to decide which colour to use next... Bottle Green or Midnight Blue hmm...
