Peppin is available in a wide range of colours.COLOURS HERE. I believe this is perfect for any knitting or crochet 8 ply/DK weight project. I tested this yarn with both knitting and crochet samples and it feels lovely to use. Peppin 8 does not spilt and even better it’s machine washable. Peppin 8 – Australian Fine Merino Superwash is destined to be a staple in your stash!
Interestingly the wool is named after the Peppin family who breed the original line of this hardy merino sheep. This Australian Sheep Breed was the backbone of the early Australian wool industry. Also approximately 70% of todays sheep still carry the Peppin bloodline. This is an interesting story and you can find a little more about this HERE.
