The Woolly Thistle is happy to stock Retrosaria Brusca Worsted weight yarn! Brusca yarn is a breed and flock-specific yarn. This exceptional yarn is made of 50% Saloia and 50% Merino Branco and Merino Preto wool. Brusca is made from the wool of free-range sheep and mulesing is not practiced in Portugal, making this a yarn to really feel good knitting.

  • Breed: 100% fine Portuguese Wool (50% Saloia, 50% Merino Branco and Merino Preto)
  • Package: 50g 
  • Weight: Worsted
  • approx. 136 yds / 125 m
  • Gauge: 19-21 sts x 27-30 rows = 4 x 4 inches
  • Woollen spun
  • Handle: fine
  • Grown, scoured, milled, and dyed in Portugal


Saloia is the native sheep breed to the region of Lisbon and Setúbal. It has been well documented since the 19th century as its wool was one of the finest available in the country. Saloia sheep have also become famous for their milk, from which the favorite Azeitão cheese was traditionally made.

Shades A, B, C, and BC are natural (not dyed). Like all of Retrosaria's yarns, Brusca is non-superwash and unbleached.

Some of our current favorite patterns that recommend this beautiful worsted weight yarn are: Arbusto by Rosa Pomar, Manou by Isabell Kraemer & Belledonne by Orlane Sucche.

Delightful

I tired the Retrosaria sock yarn previously and loved it, so I decided to try the worsted. I love it also. Knits up with nice even stitches and a firm fabric. There is a lot of veg matter, but that doesn't bother me. The color I chose is a soft blue/green. I am using it to knit a vest.
