Beara by Hey Mama Wolf – a yarn as mystical and powerful as the nature of Ireland!
The namesake of this yarn, "Cailleach Bhéarra" or "Hag of Beara," is a figure in Irish mythology and folklore. She is often depicted as an ancient, powerful goddess or wise woman deeply connected to the Irish landscape and the cycles of nature. We think she probably knows a thing or two about sheep and wool!
Beara is made from Irish wool and UK alpaca. It is spun in Ireland at the traditional Donegal Yarns mill. This keeps transport routes short, and Irish sheep farms appreciate the regular purchase of their wool. Small sheep farms, in particular, often struggle to sell their wool profitably. Therefore, Beara is spun from the wool of different breeds.
As is typical for worsted yarn, Beara blooms beautifully after washing.
