MOTA - 506 BROWN

Mota from Wool Dreamers is a yarn with a genuine story behind it. Developed in close collaboration with several local ranching families, the project was conceived with a clear purpose: to support small wool producers and champion the native breeds whose fleeces are so often overlooked in favour of more commercially dominant fibres. That ethos of care and connection runs through every skein. The resulting yarn is a soft, lofty 3-ply DK with a beautiful, airy quality that comes directly from the character of the fibres themselves - this is wool with a sense of place, spun with real intention. It knits up into a fabric with warmth, drape, and a quiet rustic charm that more uniform commercial yarns rarely achieve. For knitters who care about where their materials come from and want their finished projects to carry a little of that meaning with them, Mota offers something genuinely special.

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.

• Items made from 100% Wool should be washed by hand in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle rinse-free detergent. Use very little agitation when washing so as not to felt or full the fabric. Never wring or twist handmade woollen items when washing.
• Gently squeeze as much water as possible, roll in a towel and press moisture out. Then lay your finished piece flat to dry.

Wool does not need to be washed after every wear as it is a natural, breathable product. When you can see (or, rarely, smell) that a woollen item is in need of washing, follow the above instructions

Wool has countless benefits, including being

• 100% Natural
• Warm yet breathable
• Biodegradable
• Sustainable & Renewable
• Carbon Negative
• Flame retardant (safe for babies - and all humans)
• Wrinkle resistent
• Wicks water to the centre of the fibre keeping the fabric surface dry, even when damp
