Description
A 100g hank of DK weight Traceable British Wool for hand knitting available in six colours. Manufactured exclusively by Glencroft from fleeces collected from seven farms within 10 miles of their warehouse in Clapham, Yorkshire Dales.
The Clapdale Wool project was launched to create a fully traceable yarn that benefitted local farmers; farmers are paid a premium for their traceable British Wool and in addition 10% of the profits from the project will also go back to the farms.
The wool contains all the sheep breeds on their local farms – Dalesbred, Blue Face Leicester (BFL), North of England Mule and Texel. It has been worsted spun to produce a beautiful DK weight yarn with a reasonably soft handle.
The wool has been collected and sorted by British Wool and is certified as “British Wool Traceable”. Glencroft have scoured, carded, combed and spun this wool entirely in West Yorkshire – it has travelled a total of 90 miles from farm to yarn. Due to the nature of the wool they have used, there will be some ‘nep’ – shorter natural coloured fibres.
Each hank also has a link on the label to three free knitting patterns created by their local hand knit expert Sandra Oakeshott, for a bias scarf, child’s hat and scarf and fingerless mittens.
