LoginWooldreamers La Rinconada is spun from organic Merino wool grown in Spain. What makes this line special is that white and black fleeces have been blended to create five base yarns that range from white through grays to nearly black. The bases are dyed in the same palette of colors, creating tonals and gradients that mix and match beautifully. Here, the Granito (medium gray) base is used undyed and overdyed in two additional colors.
The Amplitude Pullover takes its name from a family hobby: collecting vacuum tube–based high-fidelity gear. According to the designer, her husband has an acquisitive weakness for very old stereo equipment and says his stash is much bigger than hers. So, according to Julia, she is guilt-free in the yarn and fiber department!
