Byre - Undergrowth

Fingering weight – 100% Pure British wool
A Room Of My Own Hand-dyed Collection from Susan Crawford

  • 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 Undergrowth:

Undergrowth is a deep, dark green reflecting the deepest parts of the woods where the leaves of the trees turn almost black in the shadows. The subtle variations in shades playing across the surface of the yarn.
