When a yarn tells you where the wool comes from, that's worth paying attention to.
Rosários 4 Folclore is made from 100% Portuguese wool — a natural fibre with genuine regional identity, spun in Portugal as part of the brand's Eco Collection. Portuguese wool has a character that's distinctly its own: slightly rustic, full of personality, with a natural stitch definition that makes it ideal for colourwork and textured stitch patterns where structure and clarity matter.
Folclore is non-superwash, meaning the wool hasn't been chemically treated to prevent felting. That's intentional — it keeps the fibre closer to its natural state, avoids the chemicals involved in superwash processing, and results in a yarn that behaves exactly as wool should: insulating, resilient, with a slight natural crispness that develops beautifully with wear.
It's a brilliant yarn for sweaters with texture, colourwork yokes, cables, and anything where the stitches themselves are doing the decorative work. The slightly earthy, traditional quality of the fibre gives finished pieces a real handmade authenticity that smoother, more processed yarns don't have.
