Soft, Strong & Exceptionally Versatile

Our undyed Polwarth Top is a dream fiber for spinners, weavers, felters, and dyers alike. Developed in Australia in the 1880s, Polwarth wool is a luxurious crossbreed of Merino and Lincoln Longwool, combining the softness and loft of Merino with the strength and luster of Lincoln.
