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.
knitting with unspun wool is new to me, but it has become one of my favorites to work with and I can see the sweater I am making being one of my favorites to wear. so soft and not at all scratchy. I did notice a rustic characteristic of this wool... there is a lot of hay bits still in it, but as I knitted they fell out so it was not a problem in the finished product. Beautiful yarn and I love the color.
I got this yarn because I had knitted with the Icelandic Plöttulopi before and was curious what a different roving yarn would be like. This is softer and even more breakable, but breaks are easily repaired. The white, at least, seems to have retained a little lanolin--I can feel it in the texture and the wool smells a little "sheepy". After knitting with it for a while, it is lubricating my plastic needles. I won't have the final word on this until the garment is finished and worn, but the fabric looks and feels fluffy, and the stitch definition is good in the textured pattern.
amazing yarn, beautiful color! so excited to play with it
