Description

Whitby Jet DK yarn – limited edition!

Historic Whitby is a mere 30 minutes away, with its majestic abbey and magnificent cliffs.  Much prized by Victorians, Whitby Jet is an ancient stone from the Jurassic period, silky and dark, much like our yarn in this limited edition shade.

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. It is a high-welfare and slaughter-free flock, so these sheep all 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!  Our Whitby Jet DK yarn is the darkest shade in our full range of Yorkshire-inspired colours. It really makes all of our other shades really pop.

It has great handle, stitch definition and drape, so it is the perfect yarn for your special project. Our yarn is British through and through and we are very proud of it!
