Description

Our Natural Grey British Romney DK Yarn is made using carefully selected wool from our own flock of Romney sheep, raised on our family farm on the Romney Marsh.

Naturally light and dark Romney fleeces are blended together to create this distinctive grey shade without synthetic dyes. The resulting yarn has subtle tonal variation, natural depth and the individual character of British Romney wool.

Romney fleece is semi-lustrous, with a long staple and gentle crimp. When spun, it creates a strong and durable yarn with a subtle sheen and excellent stitch definition.

Its versatile Double Knitting weight makes it suitable for garments, accessories and homeware. Use it to create jumpers, cardigans, hats, scarves, gloves, blankets, cushions and other knitted or crocheted projects designed to be enjoyed for years.

Each 100g skein contains approximately 186 metres of yarn.
