This listing is for 200 yards of Churro Coyote Warp yarn. Churro is an ancient breed of sheep first brought to this country by the Spanish in the 16th century. It is known for its strength and durability and is widely used for rug making, tapestries and outer garments.

This Coyote Warp Churro is a unique ply of two shades of wool, natural and grey. The distinctive look makes it useful as a marking warp. When weaving rugs or blankets with intricate patterns, Coyote warp makes it easier to keep track of pattern placement. For example, if Coyote Warp is used instead of the regular warp every 10th fiber, the weaver can easily count out where to change colors.

The rustic nature and strength of this fiber also would make it a great choice for book binding, enhancing primitives and other crafts.

Churro Coyote Warp is 1/16 inch wide and has 8 WPI. It feels coarse next to the skin, but softens and increases loft with washing. It is slightly fuzzy creating a softening visual effect to finished projects.

If you are someone who enjoys working with rare breeds and uncommon fibers, heres a wonderful one to add to your stash!
