Barn - Rusty Tractor

About Barn
100% British wool - a unique blend of Jacob, white Shetland and black Shetland fleeces
225 metres / 246 yards per 100g

This artisanal yarn has been blended and spun exclusively for Susan Crawford at a local mill, using a unique blend of Jacobs and white and black Shetland fleeces, to create a delightfully lofty, soft, grey yarn displaying the distinctive characteristics of these wonderful sheep breeds. The yarn has been worsted spun for added smoothness, softness and longevity but retains a wonderful plumpness making the yarn warm and cocooning. Barn creates fabric with a beautiful texture, equally good in plain stitch patterns as well as textural patterns, cables and lace.

About Rusty Tractor:

'Iris' International was our rusty old tractor, built in the mid 1970s and built to last. Her bodywork at one time a rich red, the patina of the years and the accumulation of rust has turned that red into a rich autumnal rust shade. Rusty Tractor pays homage to Iris that trusty farm vehicle, recreating the same rich but earthy tones.
