This is a very special yarn released by Rosa Pomar in mid-2017.

Mungo is a 50/50 blend: half recycled wool and half recycled cotton. It's spun from pre-consumer waste generated by Portuguese spinning mills, with the wool sourced in Portugal and / or Spain. It has been milled and dyed in Portugal.

This wool feels soft in the hand and has good stitch definition.

The yarn is four-ply worsted weight, and comes in 100g skeins that contain 220 meters of yarn. The recommended needle size is 4mm-5mm.

Curious about the possibilities of this unique yarn? Have a look at Rosa Pomar's pattern made for Mungo, the Mungoche jumper. The online knitting community is busy making all sorts of lovely creations from this yarn - have a look at the Mungoche knit-along page on Ravelry for more inspiration, or Joji Locatelli’s wonderful Super Simple Summer Sweater (which we adore).
