The Story
A 100g hank of our traceable DK hand knit wool dyed by hand into a beautiful variegated grassy green. The colour is predominately green like Yorkshire Dales grass with lighter and darker shades and a subtle grey highlight to reflect the local limestone rocks.
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.
FREE KNITTING PATTERNS - 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.
Tension - 30 rows x 27 sts - 10cm (4") sq - 4mm needles / crochet
Length - 220 metres / 240 yard approx
