For knits that take no time, truly make a statement, and can provide warmth on the worst of winter days, reach for Wool of the Andes Bulky! Made from 100% Peruvian Highland wool, it’s a heavy-weight yarn that knits up quickly into thick, cozy projects. Peruvian Highland wool is a strong fiber that has an excellent balance of structure, loft, and drape, and this sturdy, all-purpose yarn has excellent stitch definition and heirloom durability. As a bulky-weight yarn, it creates a cushy, irresistible, thick fabric that knits up in a flash, making it perfect for last-minute gifts, speedy sweaters, and quick accessories. Wool of the Andes’ curated color palette is just as versatile as the yarn itself, with a mix of solids and heathers to choose from.

Use Wool of the Andes to create bouncy cables, gorgeous textures, or beautiful colorwork. As a "sticky" wool–meaning the fibers grip lightly together–Wool of the Andes Bulky is a great choice for both stranded colorwork and intarsia because stitches "stick" in place and won’t shift or loosen as you work, and the curated selection of saturated colors provides a wonderful palette for projects. In addition to being great for projects where your stitches are on display, Wool of the Andes also felts beautifully with warm water and agitation, creating a dense, durable fabric with structure for felted slippers, bags, and beyond.

For a convenient, machine-washable option, try Wool of the Andes Superwash Bulky.
