Vovó (Portuguese for Grandma) is a versatile and hard wearing non-superwash yarn made entirely from fine Portuguese wool, mainly from Campaniça sheep. It is a great choice for sweaters and cardigans intended for daily wear.
Vovó is made from the wool of free range sheep. Mulesing is not practised in Portugal.
Grown, scoured, milled and dyed in Portugal.
dependable, versatile, and ready for anything
Vovó is a yarn that we would categorize as a workhorse. Workhorse yarns are dependable, sturdy, and reliable. They’ll help you get the job done: no drama, no complaints, just steady confidence and comfortable results. Built to balance durability with wearability, they’re the quiet backbone of many well-loved garments.
Don’t mistake dependable for dull. Workhorse yarns are wonderful partners for textured stitches and colourwork patterns that deserve to shine. And as always, swatching will help you get the fabric you’re hoping for.
