Tukuwool Fingering
The Yarn
Tukuwool fingering is a blend of Finnsheep and Finnsheep-Texel crossbreed. This 2-ply yarn has a fairly tight twist but becomes even and smooth after washing. Tukuwool fingering works well with different gauges and can produce drapey or denser fabrics.
Farm to Cable Yarns carries a selection of Tukuwool fingering in their natural, dyed and heathered colourways.
