Hand Dyed 100% British Wensleydale yarn  - DK.

Inspired by nostalgic retro Easter eggs, this palette blends mocha, bright pink, aqua blue, peppermint, cobalt and burnt orange, with soft highlights of the natural undyed wool still shining through the lustrous fibre.

This incredible fleece comes from a rare British sheep breed listed as ‘Priority’ on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust Watchlist. Wensleydale wool is famous for its incredible lustre, long curly locks and strength — a dream fibre for spinners, weavers and fibre artists.

Perfect for ‘next to skin’ projects.
The Wensleydale sheep wool is from a rare breed flock  in Devon, spun in Yorkshire with no man made fibres and hand dyed in Lancashire by Chris @ Flock & Skein.  Wensleydale is a versatile yarn and will knit to a standard tension or slightly finer. Ideal for any wool knitting or crochet patterns.


The ethos behind Flock & Skein is to be able to provide full provenance from farm to yarn using heritage and rare breed wool.
We buy yarn and fleeces directly from the farm ensuring the Farmers, Crofters and Smallholders receive a fair price for the product. Every process from Farm to Yarn is 100% Ethical & British.
