"This is an au naturale wool - natural oils, natural colours, and,natural fibers. This wool is a bit 'hairy' but surprisingly soft once,knit up. It makes a thick fabric and is really more of a chunky weight,than an Aran. Easy to knit - wool does not split or dry out your skin." Gwen"The British Breeds Aran- Lovely natural undyed yarn. Very nice to knit with and felts really nicely too. " Rosanna
