Manchelopis is a cloud-like, unspun yarn from Wooldreamers in Spain. It's made from a blend of Castellana and Manchega (the same sheep as Manchego cheese!) wool. It comes in a large double stranded cake which can be knit with both strands held together or as one single strand. While very delicate in the skein, the knitted fabric is sturdy and perfect for fluffy sweaters and accessories. A range of needles can be used to obtain different gauges. At Busywork, we found the two plies to knit up comfortably on size 8 needles.
