Description
This special new range of yarns is made from Lleyn or Charolais fleece from two Cornish farms, blended with 30% Blue-faced Leicester from a group of farms in North Wales. We start with the natural creamy white and then add heathered grey or fawn using mainly Hebridean or Manx fleece.
We then dye the three resulting natural shades in subtle colours, which will all tone with each other.
The lofty woollen spun yarns are designed to give you a classic, traditional knitting experience, in natural and attractive dyed colours, available in 4-ply, DK, Aran and Chunky weights. The added Blue-faced Leicester wool softens this yarn to make comfortable, light and warm garments or will felt well for accessories.
Our Classic British yarns are good for all types of projects and are priced to give value for money and provide an economic alternative to our rarer, special and luxury yarn ranges.
