Description

Our Natural British Romney Lambswool DK Yarn is blended and spun using carefully selected fleeces from our own flock of Romney sheep, raised on our family farm on the Romney Marsh.

The rich Medium Grey shade is created using the natural colours of the fleece, giving the yarn subtle depth and character without synthetic dyes. It is a beautifully versatile neutral that works equally well on its own or alongside our Ecru, Light Grey and Dark Grey lambswool yarns.

Lambswool creates a soft and warm yarn, while the natural qualities of Romney wool provide durability and excellent stitch definition. Its versatile Double Knitting weight makes it suitable for an extensive range of knitting and crochet projects.

Use it to create cardigans, jumpers, hats, scarves, gloves, blankets, children’s garments, soft toys and other treasured handmade pieces.

Each 100g ball contains approximately 209 metres of yarn.
