Dying House Gallery, or DHG Piuma Yarn is the sustainable choice for a soft, roving pure merino wool. It’s fluffy and slightly fuzzy, yet compact. Because it is a slightly twisted roving, it maintains all of the natural softness and lightness of wool while still being easy to use with knitting needles and crochet hook. What’s more, once this wool yarn is worked it tends to puff up even more and gets chunkier.
