A 100g ball of undyed 2-ply lace weight wool for hand knitting. Manufactured exclusively by Glencroft from fleeces collected from two farms within 5 miles of our warehouse in Clapham, Yorkshire Dales.
The wool contains all the sheep breeds on these local farms - Dalesbred, Blue Face Leicester (BFL), North of England Mule and Texel.
This 2-ply lace weight version of our Clapdale yarn was initially created just for our own machine knitting, however when our local hand knit expert Sandra Oakeshott - who first tested our DK weight hand knit yarn - asked to try it out.
She created a beautiful shawl and suggested there would be many hand knitters who would love to try it. Hence we've created 100g balls from our 2 kg cones, perfect for knitting into 'Sandra's Shawl' available via a link on the label. You can see the shawl knit in the photos.
Each ball has approximately 450 metres of wool.
This is undyed so is predominately a natural cream colour with a tiny amount of darker black and brown wool fibres.
