SheepSoft DK from Laxtons is a beautiful blend of premium British Sheep Breeds, sourced from the very finest flocks and treated with absolute care and attention. Blue Faced Leicester adds softness and drape, and Masham provides durability and warmth, and a natural brown colour which gives the final yarn a softly heathered effect. Sheepsoft feels soft and strong and properly woolly and is ideal for both garments and accessories. It smells absolutely lovely and is a delight to knit with!
Fleeces are sourced from the British Wool Depot in Bradford and are then washed, dyed and spun within 50 miles, making this a fully traceable and 100% genuinely UK manufactured yarn with a really low carbon footprint.
