Boxelder Organic is the latest version of our 4 ply non-superwash wool line. This base has 1 yard more per 100 grams, the same fiber content and 4 ply construction of our classic Boxelder base, however at 26 microns it has a sturdier more crisp hand. I wouldn't classify it as a rustic yarn as it has no prickle or itch factor, though it does have a coarser feel than our classic Boxelder base. Boxelder Organic is great for knitting sturdy, plastic free, non-superwash socks and hard wearing garments. I couldn't help but fall in love with the way this base soaks up dye. It has a subtle heatherd effect, with a matte finish. Speckles vary between crisp and blurred creating a nice watercolor effect.
