Our non superwash yarn is spun in Yorkshire from British fleece. Once you have completed your garment, it is recommended that you handwash your finished item in lukewarm water with your wool wash of choice and lay your washed garment flat to dry.
I photograph my yarn in natural daylight, however colour variations can occur between monitors.
