Our Classic Rug Wool yarn is available in nearly 100 colors of 100% New Zealand Rug Wool. The broad color palette offers solid and heathered colors, and is an enduring favorite among rug weavers. An excellent yarn for rugs, tapestries, hooked, knitted or crocheted projects. Halcyon Yarn Rug Wool is easy to hand-dye with natural dyes as well as low-impact synthetic dyes like Wash Fast Acid or Country Classic for more subtle coloration. Since our rug wool is 100% wool, it will felt, so it's excellent for knitted or crocheted rugs or home goods made loosely and then felted for an extra sturdy finish.
Our Classic Rug Wool comes in hefty 100 gram hanks or 55" (approx.) strands perfect for accents.
Our Classic 3-ply Rug Wool works beautifully in designs by Seal Harbor, Amy Oxford, Claire Murray, and more.
