The robust "Stärke 6 Brüder" (Strength 6 Brothers) name perfectly embodies the remarkable durability and reliable character that makes every project a testament to enduring quality, whilst maintaining the exceptional craftsmanship standards that discerning knitters have come to cherish from this esteemed German wool mill.
Stärke 6 Brüder - Built for Brotherhood: Six brothers stand stronger together! This exceptional yarn creates brilliant tone-on-tone colour transitions when paired with coordinating shades - ideal for crafting matching projects that beautifully complement one another with superior strength and lasting appeal.
Since 2020, Schoppel has led the industry by reinforcing all sock yarns with Amni Soul Eco®—a biodegradable nylon that breaks down in just five years, providing excellent durability while ensuring environmental responsibility.
Discover Schoppel's exceptional Patagonian wool, sourced from pristine landscapes where sheep roam freely across vast grasslands. This unique environment naturally minimises pest issues, allowing for pesticide-free, mulesing-free wool production.
These sheep enjoy complete freedom, gathered only twice yearly for gentle shearing and health checks. The result? Wool with outstanding long fibres, impressive volume, remarkable softness and exceptional durability – which is why Schoppel exclusively choose Patagonian wool for their hand-knitting yarns.
