• About Byre
  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. Byre creates fabric with a beautiful texture, equally good in plain stitch patterns as well as textural patterns, cables and lace.

  Our goal is to showcase the native sheep breeds living on the moors, fells and hills of Yorkshire, Cumbria and Lancashire, sourcing fibre from local farmers. Byre follows in the footsteps of Barn, as the next in a range of yarns blended and spun to our specifications, creating the perfect hand knitting yarn from the very best wool. A new generation of knitters and crocheters can enjoy these wools from the heart of the British countryside.

About Room Of My Own:

Room Of My Own was the colour of our first little dye studio, built from wood painted the same rich red as this luscious shade. The studio was the first home of A Room Of My Own hand dyed yarns and where all our recipes were fist created. Room Of My Own is also inspired by the pantone shade used for Susan Crawford Vintage for many years and recreates it in this yarn.
