Wold Sport - Fence Post

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 Fence Post:

One of the perennial tasks of farm life is replacing fence posts which rot and collapse with unfailing regularity. Around the farm there are new fence posts, old fence posts and fence posts of every age in between. This shade of warm, rich brown celebrates all those varied fence posts on every farm everywhere.
