A 100g hank of our traceable DK hand knit wool dyed by hand into all the colours of a Dales field - green, brown and blue. Manufactured entirely in Yorkshire from fleeces collected from two farms within 5 miles of our warehouse in Clapham, Yorkshire Dales.

The wool contains all the sheep breeds on these local farms - Dalesbred, Blue Face Leicester (BFL), North of England Mule and Texel.

It has produced a beautiful DK weight yarn with a reasonably soft handle. The wool is certified as "British Wool Traceable".

Due to the nature of the wool we have used, there will be some 'nep' - shorter natural coloured fibres. Each hank also has a link on the label to three free knitting patterns created by our local hand knit expert Sandra Oakeshott; for a bias scarf, child's hat & scarf and fingerless mittens.
