Manchelopis Unspun Yarn is made from 100% wool from the manchega and castellana sheep. This rare and unique yarn is twist-free, creating a delicate knitting experience resulting in an amazingly light yet warm fabric. WoolDreamers has produced this beautiful yarn from sheep from the Manchega Sheep raised in Castilla La- Mancha, Spain and milled in the same area. 
  • BREED: 100% Wool from Manchega Sheep   
  • PACKAGE: ~100 gram plate
  • FINISH:  Unspun
  • WEIGHT:  252 yds/100 grams, DK 
  • CARE: Hand wash; lay flat to dry.

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.

    So very nice!

    I am using this for a pattern that does not call for unspun yarn. I love this yarn, it is soft and lofty and is creating a wonderful lightweight Billie hals sweater vest from the Rauma Fivel catalog 2023 (also purchased from the Thistle). I love this shop ladies, keep us the good work!

    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!
