  • Wold Sport - Rusty Tractor

    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 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 had turned that red into a rich autumnal rust shade. Rusty Tractor pays homage to Iris our trusty farm vehicle, recreating the same rich but earthy tones.

    Care Instructions
    Hand wash with care in cool water using a gentle wool wash and dry flat.
    Please note
    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.
