Yarn – Wensleydale Curly 28/25
Wensleydale locks from sheep grown in the neighbouring island of Sanday.
Shades of brown curly locks yarn with mohair.
2-ply. Works well knitted on large needles or smaller ones for a denser fabric.
Note: this yarn is prone to felting so I strongly recommend hand-washing/rinsing only in lukewarm water, do not agitate or wring.
