Schafpate is Opal's annual collection in support of sheep farming in Germany, which it does in two parts; through sheep sponsorship, and through the Wool Project. You can read about the project here.
Eight beautiful self patterning colours, with wool from German sheep.
Opal is well known for its quality and durability, so this yarn is a great choice for a wide range of projects. Soft against the skin but durable, it is perfect for socks, gloves, hats, scarves and more.
One ball should be more than enough for one pair of socks, depending on the size being knitted for.
Like many of the Opal shade ranges, this is a limited edition... once it’s gone it’s gone!
