About Natural Yarn

Natural Yarn

I provide and use natural fibres to create knitting kits and handmade pieces..

I have been a spinner, weaver and dyer for over 30 years but in the last few years I have been working with two well known organisations, selecting sheep fleeces from their flocks of pedigree sheep, getting them spun into yarn at an organically registered mill and then designing knitting patterns to create a range of knitting kits and handmade hats, bags etc.The yarns from the various rare breed sheep all have their own characteristics but most of all they are very warm and comfortable to wear.

I have helped the local wildlife trust to get some of their Shetland fleeces spun and I have then designed knitting patterns so that they can sell kniitting kits in their visitor centres.

I really love working with natural fibres and I hope you will enjoy them too.
