100g hank of 4-ply yarn from the wool of our own flock of Cotswold sheep.
Our rare breed Cotswold sheep provide the fleece, which is then worsted spun by the Natural Fibre Company in Cornwall.
I hand dye it using acid dyes.
It makes beautiful socks, bags and scarves - lace stitches are particularly effective.
Recommended needle size 2.75-3.25mm, each skein contains c.317m of yarn.
The colourway Chalk Hill Blue is part of our Wiltshire collection, inspired by the county in which we live. The Chalk Hill Blue butterfly can be found on the chalk downlands which cover a large proportion of Wiltshire. The male is a handsome creature whose wings are variegated blue, turquoise and white.
