An exceptional yarn, spun from the only finest fleece that the sheep produces, it's the absolute best of British.
Awesome Aran has the softness and bounce you'd associate with merino. It's a great all-rounder, perfect for hats, scarves and warm sweaters (including the classic cabled Aran).
Bluefaced Leicester is a native British sheep breed. Its fleece has a subtle lustre, unique to the breed, which adds an exceptional depth of colour to our hand-dyed shades. Its long staple length makes it hard-wearing, and being a superwash yarn, it's easy to care for too.
It’s now available as an undyed yarn by the skein for you to dye yourself, or use as a contrast with our range of hand dyed shades. It absorbs dye brilliantly and there is no danger of felting.
