Wooldreamers Mota
Lofty, durable, and made for playing with color, Mota is a 3-ply Spanish wool yarn with a strong twist and a lovely tooth that makes it especially suited to colorwork.
Its loft gives it flexibility across gauges. Try it in DK, worsted, or aran projects, and potentially even chunky designs, but swatch to check the fabric and gauge before choosing your pattern.

Maker & Impact
Mota is sourced and manufactured entirely in the heart of Castilla-La Mancha. Developed in collaboration with several ranching families, it brings together the finest wool their flocks had to offer, with the aim of supporting small Spanish farms.
The nearby farms and mill keep the production journey close to home. Wooldreamers’ work helps turn undervalued wool into a useful, beautiful fiber while supporting traditional crafts, inclusive employment, and projects that build appreciation for Spanish wool.
