Full description
This is a rough and tumble, rustic, and rugged yarn - one of my more eccentric ones, I think. I spun the curly locks of Wensleydale sheep and plied them with the smooth but strong fleece from the sheep of northern England’s Cheviot Hills. This has created a sort of medieval looking yarn, naturally cream and slightly yellow in colour, thick and thin, and very tough.
Perhaps useful to a historical re-enactor? As eccentric fringe for a scarf? Texture for a tapestry? It’s an odd yarn, I know; I’d love to find out what it becomes part of...
A 50 gram ball, yarn gauge = Bulky (5-6 wraps per inch), approximately 16 yards long.
(Beware: A few bits of this yarn have slight greenish marks, due to how the farmer marked his flock. You can see it in the main photo.)
NOW ON SALE AS PART OF MY SUMMER CLEARANCE! Now £5 instead of £10!
