    Manchelopis is delicate because it's unspun, but don't let that put you off. Carefully unwind your wool from the plate (never tug) to knit your stitches before unwinding the next lot. Should your wool break, simply overlap the two ends and twist (spit-splice) them back together and carry on. Once knitted, the yarn is strong yet soft!

    Manchelopis is wound into plates with 2 plys, making it a DK weight yarn. It could be separated to knit just 1ply, then doubling your yardage as a Light Fingering weight. 

    The Manchelopis light grey, medium grey, and dark grey, while named greys by WoolDreamers, these natural shades have brown tonal qualities.  

    Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.

      Wooldreamers Manchelopis

      I came to love the Wooldreamers Manchelopis Unspun yarn. I was intimidated by it at first but found the color work sweater pattern and decided to try it again. Once I learned to work with it, I liked the rustic look and feel of it. I will definitely be using it again.

      Pleased!

      I had a less than nice experience with unspun yarn from Schoolhouse Yarns (love Elizabeth Zimmermann so was thrilled at first to find this bargain on ebay) but yarn was harsh to knit with and uncomfortable to wear so thrifted it. This yarn however, is very very soft and comfortable. I just finished the Shores cardigan by Ashley Lillis - a very simple bulky unstructured item. Yarn worked beautifully - sleeves were a bit difficult because I'd split the yarn for a different project and changed my mind and putting the two strands back together made for more breakage. Knitted up quickly. I hope to make another with this yarn in a brighter color!

      Sheepy Softness for Mindful Knitting

      I never thought I would use unspun, let alone love it, but I do. As a member of an online group where a number of knitters were using Manchelopis, I learned before dipping my toe into unspun, how and when it was fragile (and when it was not), and how to fix should a break occur. Honestly, I do not find it difficult to work with. I do need to slow down - unwind (do not pull) a bit from the plate, knit, unwind a bit more, knit... Once knit these unspun strands show their strength. I am currently knitting a shawl using the yarn as it comes (doubled). The shawl has lacy bits so doing some SSK's, K2tog, M1's and YO's - the stitch definition is beautiful. The yarn does have the occasional tiny bits of nature in it and has a slight sheepy smell when you bury your face in it, adding to its character.
