Retrosaria Rosa Pomar is a yarn company and haberdashery based in Lisbon, Portugal, known for its heritage Portuguese wool. Working in collaboration with small manufacturers, breeders associations, and shepherds, all Rosa Pomar yarns are non-superwash, not bleached, and have no silicone-based softeners. We love that their wool comes from free-range sheep, and that mulesing is not practiced in Portugal.
Mondim is a non-superwash fingering weight yarn made from fine Portuguese wool, and named after a Portuguese village once famous for its sock knitting cottage industry. Tightly plied and sturdy, Mondim is a great choice for making socks, hats, and sweaters alike.
