Schoppel's exceptional Albmerino yarn celebrates its proud heritage from the Swabian Jura mountains of Germany — locally known as the "Schwäbische Alb". Jura or "Alb" honours these magnificent mountains and "Zauber" (Magic) captures the essence of this extraordinary regional yarn. This stunning landscape not only inspires the name but infuses the very quality of each ball, cake or skein, transforming local wool into something truly magical for those who experience the joy of crafting with genuine Swabian wool from Schoppel.
Scarves, jumpers, cardigans and home accessories — each creation carries a piece of authentic German heritage.
