Limited Edition & Rare

Here you will find yarns from rare, regional, special or unusual breeds, as named. Due to scarcity, these yarns come and go, though we aim to maintain an interesting selection of types and natural colours. The yarns are listed in alphabetical order of breed. 

Many are classified as rare or endangered and listed by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust: when we can get the quality we need we make occasional limited editions, so grab them when you can! 

All our yarns knit to a standard tension, so these limited edition breeds can be used for all our knitting patterns although the fabrics will differ for each. 

Please refer to our 4-ply and finer, 5-ply guernsey yarns, Double Knitting, Aran and Chunky pages for information on tension and gauge.
