HOW IT'S MADE
This wool yarn comes from South America, where mulesing is not practiced. The fiber is untreated, which means that it is only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This highlights the fiber’s natural properties, while it also provides a better shape and texture quality. You can read more about Drops' sustainability values here.
PROJECT IDEAS
Snow is perfect for beginners who are just learning how to knit or crochet. It's also perfect for chunky accessories and garments, or for felting projects! You can rip strands off of your ball of yarns to use in wet or dry felting, or you can knit things like slippers, mittens, or baskets, and felt them in the wash!
