Manchelopis is a love song to Spain's most ubiquitous dairy-producing sheep - the Manchega Sheep. If you've been lucky enough to savor a slice of Manchego cheese, you've meet the Manchega Sheep. With Manchelopis, WoolDreamers honors the value of the fiber of Manchega sheep, a breed native to the Castilla-La Mancha region where WoolDreamers makes its home.

Manchelopis is blended from the wool of two unique flocks being raised using traditional ranching practices and with compassion for the sheep and the lands they graze on. With one flock produces dark brown wool and the other white. Manchelopis began with a range of colors in a light to dark gradient by simply blending the two wools together. 

The white wool comes from Las Banderas Livestock, situated in la Serrania de Cuenca. The flock of Manchega sheep is looked after by Raul who practices transhumance, taking the sheep from pasture to pasture with the seasons.

The dark brown wool comes from a flock of rare black Manchega Sheep raised by Jose de Jesus Gimenez Diezma Ranch. The sheep graze freely on the lands of Los Montes de Toledo and only seek shelter when they require Jose’s care.

Manchelopis is now offered in a palette of dyed colors as well as the original undyed, blended neutral.

Manchelopis comes in a 100g “wheel.” The unspun 2-ply structure of this yarn allows for it to be worked at a variety of gauges depending on the desired fabric.

With the aim to support small wool producers, Mota was developed as a collaboration with several ranching families, each contributing the finest wool their flocks had to offer in order to produce this very special yarn.

Mota is a collection made entirely in the heart of Castilla-La Mancha, and is named to honor the town of Mota del Cuervo, where WoolDreamers has it's roots. Thanks to the proximity of the farms to the mill, Mota is produced with one of the smallest carbon footprints on the market.

Spun from carefully selected fleeces from each ranch, Mota shows that even the smallest ranches can produce valuable wools. The resulting yarn is a soft and lofty 3-ply DK that will give each project a special connection to the origins of their materials.

Plötulopi is mostly knitted using two or three strands, resulting in garments that are exceptionally light and airy. Plötulopi is surprisingly strong once knitted thanks to the unique characteristics of Icelandic wool.

Gently wind the required number of strands of Plötulopi together or knit straight from the plates.

A single strand of Plötulopi is very delicate. It can be strengthened by twisting it lightly or by knitting it with one strand of Einband or any lace weight yarn. Plötulopi is great for felting, hand spinning and many other things.

Bourette silk is cruelty free! Silk yarn is made with the silk threads that come from silk worm cocoons. An intact silk worm cocoon is made of one single very long thread. In conventional silk production the cocoons are boiled, leaving the silk worms to die. Bourette silk, on the other hand, is made from the silk threads of naturally vacated cocoons – ones from which the silk worms have completed their natural metamorphosis into moths. During this incredible process, the cocoon breaks apart leaving the silk thread in pieces. These short silk fibers are painstakingly collected and spun into yarn. Creating bourette silk is a very time consuming process resulting in a more rustic, but no less luxurious strand of yarn.
