Wold Sport Weight

About Wold Sport weight:

100% British wool - 50% Southdown, 25% Bluefaced Leicester, 25% Shetland

147 metres / 160 yards per 50g skein.

Recommended gauge from 26 to 28 sts to 10cm (4in) using 3.25-3.75 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.

This sport weight yarn is made of 4 plies worsted spun to create a bouncy, plump and smooth yarn but with enough bite for Fair Isle projects. Wold Sport is available in economical 50g skeins.

Wold is dyed in-house by Susan and her team at A Room Of My Own in a wide range of beautiful and varied shades. Wold takes colour extremely well resulting in rich, semi-solid shades. Wold is a non-superwash yarn and should be washed by hand in cool water with a gentle wool wash.

Grown, sheared, spun and finished in Britain
