Product Description

Wool of the Andes Yarn

Color: Amethyst Heather

Care Instructions

While careful hand washing will keep your stitches crisp and sweaters long-lived, Wool of the Andes also felts beautifully with warm water and agitation, creating a fabric even more warm and durable than knitting alone.

Hand wash and dry flat

Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted 10-Pack

Color: Amethyst Heather

Our classic worsted wool yarn is spun and plied carefully to achieve a wonderfully balanced twist. Spun from Peruvian wool, the strong fiber has an excellent balance of structure, loft, and drape that serves a wide variety of uses. Wonderfully warm for all weather, this sturdy, all-purpose yarn has excellent stitch definition and heirloom durability. It is ideal for cabled sweaters, textured stitch afghans, and every day accessories.

100% Peruvian Highland wool
US: worsted weight, CYC #4/medium, UK: Aran, AUS: 10 ply
10 balls with 110 yards (~100 m)/50g (~1.75 oz) per ball (1100 yards/~1000 meters total)
Recommended for US 6 (4 mm) to US 9 (5.5 mm) size needles and US I (5.5 mm) to US K (6.5 mm) hooks

For the sweater you’ll wear a thousand times or the blanket you’ll use every night!


Cables Wool of the Andes is plied and spun to take full advantage of the inherent structure, resilience, and memory of wool for making the most fantastic cables you'll ever see.	Colorwork Stitch definition is also excellent for Fair Isle and other colorwork, not just cables, making Wool of the Andes an excellent choice for quick stranded projects.	Texture The crisp fiber of Wool of the Andes keeps textured stitches looking and feeling great, bringing visual interest to sweaters, afghans and more, and adding to the natural warmth of wool.

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2023

Color: Dove HeatherVerified Purchase

This yarn was great to work with. I’m a newer knitter and wasn’t sure how the quality would be, but Knit Picks yarns, in general tend to be pretty good now that I’ve experienced a few of their yarn types. The price is amazing for the quantity and the wool itself isn’t too bad against my bare arms. I usually wear at least a t shirt under this sweater. Wouldn’t recommend this yarn for people who are very sensitive to wool since it’s slightly more rustic.

Very nice wool yarn!

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024

Verified Purchase

This yarn is an excellent value for the price! For crochet, it works up very nicely with almost no splitting or snagging. It's also in that sweet spot of being usable for worsted and DK weight projects by changing hook sizes. The colors were very consistent throughout the pack and the yarn itself has a strong but airy loft. In double crochet, it works up into a medium-weight yarn fabric that folds nicely in all directions, and has a stiff drape. My one downside is that this yarn is not soft. It may soften with washing, but straight out of the pack it is rather scratchy. This does not bother me as the piece I'm making is not going to be worn against skin, just something to note. Also, it is pure wool so hand wash only unless you want it to felt! Definitely would recommend for a fiber crafter looking to explore more natural fiber materials.

Rich beautiful colours, as shown. Nice pure wool, I plan to use them for felting / fulling. The balls seem a bit smaller than I expected, I hope the yardage is as described. Nice to be able to get a pre selected variety of colours in one package.
