Sustainably sourced

Spun locally, Sheepsoft yarn travels less than 50 miles to reach Laxtons’ Mill, where it’s expertly spun and packaged, ready to dispatch. This eco-conscious process ensures the yarn has a low carbon footprint, making it perfect for those who value sustainability in their craft.

Sheepsoft DK is a premium, eco-friendly yarn spun from a unique blend of 100% British Bluefaced Leicester and Masham fleece. The natural colours of the Masham wool, combined with dyed Bluefaced Leicester, give each shade a distinctive, heathered look that will bring depth and character to your handmade garments.

This DK yarn offers the perfect blend of softness, durability, and sustainability, making it ideal for handknit sweaters, cosy cardigans and a whole array of lightweight knitted accessories. Its softness and warmth make it an excellent choice for those winter knitting projects and its strength and durability mean your handknits will last for years to come.
