**WOOL FACT**
The inner core of wool fibers can absorb 35% of its own weight in moisture. Not until wool is saturated with 60% of its own weight will it feel wet to the touch. Because of this, even wool is moderately damp, the insulating air pockets are still intact. Furthermore, the wicking properties of wool fibers draw moisture away from the skin helping to keep the body warm.

This yarn feels stiff while knitting, but relaxes the more it is washed & worn, quickly becoming a favorite!
This is a good, sturdy working yarn that is very warm, perfect for sweaters, vests, hats or mittens. It will surprise you after you wash your project!
**Peace Fleece does contain vegetable matter. They have chosen to not use the "carbonizing" process where the wool is dipped into sulphuric acid to remove bits of dried grass, thus their yarn is free from this chemical. The minimal amount vegetable matter that remains after the finished process is easily removed as you work, and reminds you that this yarn is an end product given to us by real sheep.
