The Woolly Thistle is pleased to offer Retrosaria Mondim Fingering Weight Yarn! Mondim is a non-superwash fingering weight yarn made from fine Portuguese wool. It is named after a Portuguese village once famous for its sock knitting cottage industry. Shades 100 and 300 are natural (not dyed). Breed: 100% Portuguese wool Package: 100g  Weight: 4 ply (fingering) approx. 421 yds/385 m Gauge: 24 - 32 sts = 4 inches Mondim sock yarn works well with any fingering weight sock pattern. In addition there are many patterns that recommend Mondim as the suggested yarn. Some of our current favorite patterns are: Mondim Socks by Andrea Mowry, Craspedia by Andrea Mowry which is available in both 52 Weeks of Socks and on Ravelry, and Azor (a beautiful colorwork yoke sweater) by Orlane Sucche.  Please note: variegated shades are made in a machine but in a very artisan manner. This results in variation between batches.
