Hawnby Hill 4ply yarn

Description

Hawnby Hill 4ply yarn.

This beautiful worsted spun high end Border Leicester yarn is grown here on our farm in North Yorkshire, from our pedigree flock of over 300 pedigree Border Leicester sheep. Ours is a slaughter-free flock, so all of our sheep live to grow old.

After shearing we handpick the fleeces and transport them to Bradford for washing, combing and worsted spinning. The result is stunning.  With a great handle, stitch definition and drape, it is the perfect yarn for your special project. British through and through and we are very proud of it!

Hawnby Hill is one of two which border Hawnby village, both of which are heather-coated and steep.  The land here is carefully managed to preserve biodiversity, and provides a haven for butterflies and other wildlife.  Our Hawnby Hill 4ply yarn is a vibrant, deep purple which echoes the heather on those hills. It tones well with other shades in our Yorkshire-inspired range, all named from the landscape around us.

The yarn is available in 100g skeins.
