A 100g hank of a very dark grey colour DK wool for hand knitting. Manufactured exclusively by Glencroft from fleeces collected from seven farms within 10 miles of our warehouse in Clapham, Yorkshire Dales. 

The wool contains all the sheep breeds on these local farms - Dalesbred, Blue Face Leicester (BFL), North of England Mule and Texel.

It has produced a beautiful DK weight yarn with a reasonably soft handle. The wool is certified as "British Wool Traceable".

Due to the nature of the wool we have used, there will be some 'nep' - shorter natural coloured fibres. Each hank also has a link on the label to three free knitting patterns created by our local hand knit expert Sandra Oakeshott; for a bias scarf, child's hat & scarf and fingerless mittens.

Tension - 30 rows x 27 sts - 10cm (4") sq - 4mm needles / crochet
