What makes Rosa Pomar Mondim Yarn different from other wool yarns?

Rosa Pomar Mondim Yarn is spun from fine, 100% Portuguese wool yarn, as a tribute to traditional Portuguese wool-making. It's prized for its strength, springy feel, and crisp stitch definition, making your projects durable and beautiful. Unlike superwash yarns, Mondim has a natural, rustic texture that brings out the authentic character of your handknits. With a wide array of earthy and bold colors, it's perfect for everything from socks to stunning colorwork sweaters.

Is Rosa Pomar Mondim Yarn suitable for making socks and will they hold up with wear?

Absolutely! Mondim is a classic choice for socks due to its 3-ply construction and excellent durability. The wool yarn has just enough elasticity to knit comfortably on small needles, giving your socks the right balance of stretch and strength. Customers rave about how well their hand-knit socks last, and the crisp stitch definition is great for textured stitches and patterns like Rye Socks—perfect for first-time sock knitters, too.

Will the Mondim Yarn colors I see on your website exactly match what I get?

Each skein of Mondim Yarn is made with artisanal methods, especially the variegated shades, so you might see a little color variation from batch to batch. While we do our best to photograph the wool yarn accurately, monitors can differ. If color matching is important for your project, we recommend purchasing all the yarn you’ll need at once, and if you have questions about coordinating shades, our team is happy to help—it’s part of the fun of shopping our Wool Yarn Collection!

How should I care for my projects made with non-superwash Mondim Yarn?

Because Mondim is a non-superwash wool yarn, you'll want to hand wash your finished projects in cool water with mild soap, then lay them flat to dry. This gentle care helps your knits last a long time, maintaining their beautiful texture and vibrant color. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as it could lead to felting or shrinking. With a bit of extra love, these handknits will stay gorgeous and durable.

What kinds of projects is Mondim Yarn best suited for, and is it scratchy?

Mondim is a versatile, fingering-weight wool yarn, great for socks, sweaters, hats, mittens, and all sorts of accessories—especially colorwork or textured patterns. While the yarn has a rustic, woolly feel, many knitters find it comfortably soft after a gentle wash and blocking. If you prefer a smoother wool, you might swatch and wash a small sample first. Either way, Mondim’s lively character brings amazing personality and unmatched strength to everything you knit.
