Woolia is soft and will not pill, and your sweater will be lightweight. Woolia is made of a very special wool, from the original Italian sheep breed: Merino Gentile Puglia.
The first time you feel the wool, it might feel a little dry, but in fact this is a characteristic of this type of merino, giving the yarn a great lightness. This helps garments knit or crocheted in Woolia to keep their shape regardless of needle size.
Sheep & lambs of the Gentile Puglia mainly graze between fruit and olive trees on organic plantations and on extensive areas. This breed lives in a smaller local area around Puglia and other similar areas. This form of sheep farming and their grazing habitats is one of the most sustainable ways in wool production. It is environmentally friendly and provides good living conditions for the sheep and the sheep breeders.
The farmers sort the fleeces and sell them directly to Gepard’s spinning mill. Meaning that the farmer will have a better price for the wool, and Gepard knows the individual flocks of sheep.
