Wold Sport - Dock Seed
£12.00
About Wold Sport weight:
100% British wool - 50% Southdown, 25% Bluefaced Leicester, 25% Shetland
147 metres / 160 yards per 50g skein.
Recommended gauge from 26 to 28 sts to 10cm (4in) using 3.25-3.75 mm needles.
This artisanal yarn is a unique blend of the wool of three British sheep breeds known for their beautiful fleeces, Southdown, Bluefaced Leicester and Shetland, creating a fabulously soft white yarn with bounce and spring.
This sport weight yarn is made of 4 plies worsted spun to create a bouncy, airy fibre.
Wold Sport is hand-dyed here at our dye studio, A Room Of My own, on the natural, undyed, non-superwash, white yarn. Wold takes colour exceptionally well, producing strong, semi-solid shades.
About Dock Seed:
An edible if unappealing plant, Dock, grows rampant in the fields of Monkley Ghyll. Fortunately sheep love the taste and tuck into the leaves of the Dock plant whenever they come across one. However as autumn approaches the flowers of the Dock turn to seed and turn a deep earthy red, and form an elegant silhouette standing high above the grass around it.
Care Instructions

As these yarns are hand-dyed please be aware that there will be subtle variation between dye lots. Because of this please be sure to purchase enough yarn for your project.You may also like
