Spun, packaged and dispatched all in their own mill less than 50 miles away, Sheepsoft 4-ply by Laxtons is a wonderful eco friendly 100% British wool yarn that sustainable crafter’s will love.

This fingering weight yarn is spun from a blend of British Bluefaced Leicester and Masham fleece. The natural colours of the Masham wool, combined with the dyed Bluefaced Leicester knit up to produce a marled, heathered fabric that will add a beautiful depth and interest to your simple, stockinette knits.
