Baa Ram Ewe Woodnote DK

Sourced & spun in the United Kingdom, Woodnote DK is an homage to three beautiful breeds of sheep.  Bluefaced Leicester , Masham & Merino wool blends together into a versatile DK weight yarn that is warm, sturdy & durable.  This is truly a yarn for wool lovers! Ideal for cold weather wraps, accessories & garments, the yarn is dyed in a palette of classic nature-inspired colorways. Bluefaced Leister evolved during the last century in the Tyne & Wear Valleys and the hills of east Cumbria. This breed produces a fine, long-staple wool that is known for its softness and lustre. As well as being soft, this fibre also holds the strength needed to create long-lasting garments that can be treasured over time. With a broad muzzle and tightly curled, semi-lustrous wool, it is the dark blue skin on the sheep’s head that gave the breed its name. • Masham sheep are produced by crossing a Teeswater or Wensleydale ram with a Northern hill ewe such as the Swaledale or Dalesbred. This hardy sheep produces a soft, demi-lustre fleece. • Developed in Spain, Merino sheep are world famous for having one of the highest quality fleece of any breed of sheep. The short and fine fibres used in Merino yarn create a luxurious and soft texture that has all the resilience needed to create a long-lasting piece of knitwear.
