25% Manx Loaghtan / 75% Punta Arenas Wool 200 meters / 220 yards per 100 gram / 3.5 oz skein Gauge: 16 - 20 sts / 4 inches (10 cm) US 6 - 8 or 4.0 - 5.0 mm Lascaux Worsted is a delightful blend of Old World and New World sheep fibre. Manx Loaghtan is a heritage breed sheep found only on the Isle of Mann, and the modern breed is the Punta Arenas from South America. The natural colour of this yarn is a light brown, so it has a heathered undertone when it is dyed, and although it looks rustic, it actually knits up exceptionally soft! This is a great yarn that feels wonderful against the skin, making it perfect for sweaters and shawls.
