Manchelopis

La Bien Aimée is thrilled to offer these authentic Manchelopis yarn!

Manchelopi is an unspun yarn that is made 100% with Manchega wool. A collection created to make honour to its name, since they are authentically Manchegos. Both the flocks that provide the wool and the entire yarn making process are made in Castilla-La Mancha in Spain.

As fluffy and soft, that you would hug them without having to knit them. Its twist-free slivers make this “cheese” a rare and high-quality material with which you will be able to create unique and inimitable clothing.

As for the thickness, due to its double sliver, it will depend on our control of the needles. If we want to knit it in two strands to make it easier for us, we would be facing a thickness of 230m / 100g (DK); on the other hand, if you are one of the highly skilled ones and you dare with a single strand, you will have double the meters: 460m / 100g (Fingering).
