Natural Polwarth Yarn 8ply / DK
Soft. Durable. Perfect for next-to-skin pieces.
This yarn is grown by a flock of white and naturally coloured direct descendants of the original Polwarth sheep established on our farm in the mid-1800s.
100% Polwarth wool of 23 micron over a 110mm staple. Not treated for superwash so it retains the natural characteristics of wool for warmth.
Undyed. The natural wool colours are Cream, Ash and Taupe - they complement the Origins range of solid dyed colours with classic style.
Hand-dyers will enjoy the Cream for vibrant colours, while the Ash and Taupe will create rich over-dyed effects with depth.
The yarn consists of 4 worsted spun strands, offering smooth, easy to knit fibres.
Available in skeins or balls in 50 grams or 100 grams (3.5oz)
