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.
