This is a gorgeous blend of local fleeces, each single fleece hand selected by Becca and Teri of Ewe & Ply. It was scoured in Yorkshire then spun in Scotland by New Lanark Mills. With Welsh fleeces going into it, it is a truly British yarn. Hand dyed in semi-solid colours by Ewe & Ply. Traditionally woollen spun, it is bouncy, light and squishily warm. The colours are inspired by hedgerow plants. Great for all sorts of garments and accessories, it has great stretch and the colours naturally combine well for stranded colour work. Cables look great in it too!
