About Wold Worsted

100% British wool - 50% Southdown, 25% Bluefaced Leicester, 25% Shetland
159 metres / 174 yards per 100g skein.
Recommended gauge: 17.5 sts to 10cm (4in) using 5.5 mm needles.

This artisanal yarn is a unique blend of the wool of three British sheep breeds known for their beautiful fleeces, Southdown, Bluefaced Leicester and Shetland, creating a fabulously soft white yarn with bounce and spring.

Wold Worsted comes in both 100gm and 25gm skeins.

Wold Worsted is hand-dyed here at our Lake District dye studio, on the natural, undyed, non-superwash, white yarn. Wold takes colour exceptionally well, producing strong, semi-solid shades.

About Swimming Pool: Swimming Pool is a lively turquoise blue reminiscent of gleaming tiles of a swimming pool in a sun-kissed location.
