Description
Our Classic Rug Wool yarn is available in nearly 100 colors, the broad color palette offers solid and heathered colors, and is an enduring favorite among rug weavers. An excellent yarn for rugs, tapestries, hooked, knitted or crocheted projects. Halcyon Yarn Rug Wool is easy to hand-dye with Earthues Natural, Wash Fast Acid or Country Classic dyes for more subtle coloration. Since our rug wool is 100% wool, it will feel, so it's excellent for knitted or crocheted rugs made loosely and then felted for an extra sturdy finish. Our Classic Rug Wool comes in hefty 100 gram hanks or 55" strands perfect for accents. Rug Wool is mothproofed for longevity.
