I bought this wool years ago probably when the haberdashery department in our local department store decided to stop selling wool! They had lots of Rowan yarn and I got quite a few bargains. I’ve no idea what this was called but it’s very soft, and has a thread of cotton through it which makes it quite strong. I recently revisited my toy patterns and thought it might work well for these cuties. I’m pretty happy with them except that you can only just see the eyes on the dark faced one.
