Hand wash in warm water. Reshape whilst damp and dry flat.
Cheviot Hills by The Border Mill is a beautiful hand dyed yarn made using the fleeces of North County Cheviot lambswool from the Swinside Townfoot flock. This gorgeous sport weight yarn is a pleasure to knit, leaving you with a knitted fabric full of warmth and personality. We’d recommend for light sweaters with delicate colourwork and knitted accessories.

The Border Mill prides itself on producing wonderfully soft yarns, with “oodles of character and impeccable provenance”. They work on a small scale, mixing both natural and dyed fibres and blending and spinning by hand in their own tiny mill in the Scottish Borders. 

Please note: This yarn has a very light coating of conditioning oil to protect the delicate fibres and reduce static created during processing. You can easily remove this by gently hand washing your finished knit in warm water using a wool detergent. You’ll find the yarn will bloom slightly leaving your handknit even softer than before.

 

For UK delivery, we use Royal Mail’s Tracked 24 and Tracked 48 services. Provided goods are in stock, every effort will be made to dispatch your order the next day during shop opening hours, 1-3 days when the shop is closed.

To give you the best results we always check the dye lot numbers match within each order.  If for any reason it is not possible to complete your order using only one dye lot we will contact you as soon as possible.
