Aran
Sheared from the black Hebridean Sheep of North Uist, and spun into yarn for machine or hand-knitting. The yarn is a deep chocolate brown - a natural result from the darkest fleece at the base of the staple and the dark-chestnut, sun-bleached tips.
With the Lanolin still retained in the wool, this undyed all natural 100% Uist wool makes beautiful garments and softens your hands while knitting. Aran weight. Handwash with soap flakes or detergent designed for wool. Dry Flat.
Gorgeous deep chocolate brown wool, flecked with the occasional strand of grey. - a mixture of wool shorn from the yearlings and the older sheep in the flock. Hebridean sheep acquire some grey wool as they mature. Natural in colour, just like the sheep. When knitted up it creates beautiful woollen clothes that will see you through many chilly evenings and winter months for years to come.
Ideal for hand or machine knitting - knits up like Aran weight.
