Rauwerk 2-Ply Merino Yarn

The Yarn

Rauwerk Yarn is a 2ply, woollen spun 100% merino yarn sourced in Bavaria, Germany.  The fibre for Rauwerk's yarn comes from a single farm in Munich and the yarn is spun in a local mill in the Chiemgau region.   

Updated February 2020:  We have just received a restock of the natural bases (from the 2019 flock) as well as some of the dyed colourways.  The dyed colourways are overdyed on one of the natural bases [which is indicated in the name in brackets in the colourway name].
