Hand spun, hand dyed pure British Wensleydale wool aran yarn, bright red
Hand spun, hand dyed pure British Wensleydale wool aran yarn, bright red
This beautiful yarn was hand spun and hand dyed by Suzie in East London.
Wensleydale is a traditional British sheep breed that’s fleece has a unique drape and glossy sheen quite unlike regular wool, thanks to the its distinctive curly, lustrous locks that you can see in the photo of a prize-winning Wensleydale in 1904.
The Wensleydale lustre gives the colour an inimitable depth and intensity.
It’s spun thick-and-thin, roughly aran weight. We recommended you swatch to find the right tension, because of the unusual Wensleydale fibre characteristics.
This very special skein is non-repeatable.
