An all British 4-ply blend of 70% Alpaca with 30% Wensleydale Wool, with the alpaca fleeces coming from named herds/animals. The yarn is a standard 4-ply length at 400m/100g but feels quite fine. The Wensleydale sheep has long, lustrous locks and the yarn has an interesting texture - a little like a fine boucle with tiny loops.
This yarn is the latest from our collaboration with Jane Green of New Leaf Yarns, who produces limited batches using fleeces from her own herd and those of other small British producers. The animals who contributed to this particular batch were O'Dette who lives in Lanarkshire and the Heatherbell alpaca herd in Northumberland.
