Shawlee - Crossbred Wool DK/Worsted 2ply Yarn Natural Warm Light Gray
A gorgeous yarn, produced from the wool fiber of our crossbred sheep, "Shawlee". The weight of this 2 ply yarn ranges between DK and Worsted. The warm light gray color is natural, just as it came from the fleece of the sheep. The feel is on the coarser side, and a bit scratchy, but would take dye well or make for an excellent sweater!

About Our Yarn
Our Wensleydale, Teeswater, and Valais Blacknose sheep produce wool that is not only beautiful but also long, lustrous, and incredibly strong. This exceptional quality is a reflection of the love and care we pour into raising our flock. After shearing, we send the wool to spinning mills where it is transformed into stunning white and natural colored yarns and roving, as well as a wider selection of colors using natural dyes.
While the Valais and Crossbred yarns have a slightly coarser texture, the Wensleydale and Teeswater yarns offer a softer feel. Lamb yarns are particularly known for their softness. Our white yarn, untouched and pure as it comes off the sheep, takes dye beautifully for those who love to create their own colors. The superior quality of yarns can be felt as a result of our dedication to ethical farming and sustainable practices.
