WOOL COLLECTION:  PATERNAYAN | APPLETON | COSTIKYAN

 


   Paternayan Persian Yarn

418 colors, 100% new Zealand Virgin Wool, Moth proofed, Numbered dye lots 1/4 lb Skeins, Approx. 172 yards

Harry & Karnik Paternayan immigrated to America from Armenia in 1916. Their vocation repairing Persian Carpets led them to develop a wool yarn of quality, durability and luxurious color. The result of their effort was Paternayan 00% virgin wool which soon became a standard for all rug repairers and needle artists world wide. We are proud to say that we were one for their first customers.

Paternayan Persian yarns exhibit great strength and resilience which prevents the yarn from breaking and fraying during repair. Due to the unusual whiteness of their special breed of lamb's wool and the old spinning techniques and polishing of the fibers the yarn exhibits a luster that approaches a glow.

Note: if you purchase 20 or more skeins the price of each skein will be $8.00/skein. We will make the price adjustment and will notify you via email/phone.
