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.  

Materials

Clapdale Wool: Our wool is sourced from 7 farms within 10 miles of Glencroft's Yorkshire Dales home, in the dale of 'Clapdale'. Our farmers are paid more for their wool than at auction and receive a share of the profits of every product sold. The wool is then processed, from farm to yarn, within just 50 miles of the sheep it comes from. Certified as Traceable British Wool.
