Runswick Bay DK Yarn

Description

Runswick Bay DK yarn, a stunning blue shade.

Runswick Bay, just north of Whitby, has a mile of gorgeous beach in its secluded bay. This beautiful blue shade is reminiscent of its fascinating rockpools at low tide, and where the dolphins and whales have been known to visit at high tide.

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!

Our Runswick Bay DK yarn is perfect for garments and accessories. It is great for stranded knitting, having both lustre and the required ‘sticky’ qualities to enable steeking. Used alone, it will create wonderful lightweight garments.

The yarn is available in 100 g skeins.
