Ruataniwha Dye Studio’s own Arapawa wool blend - PAKIHI

If you're looking for a rustic, woolly yarn then PAKIHI is just that. Minimally processed and woollen spun for loft, PAKIHI is a blend of super fine wools sourced from our own flock of sheep. It is a soft, well-rounded yarn without any scratchiness. A subtly heathered, textured yarn arises due to the natural brown hues of the arapawa wool.

Our PAKIHI yarn is a great all purpose yarn, lending a touch of comforting woolliness to your garments or accessories. It is 8ply/DK weight; however, it can substitute into patterns calling for worsted weight yarn due to its lofty nature.
