Special Edition DK polwarth & silk

A special edition yarn dyed by Miss Babs. Our Polwarth wool is sourced from flocks in the Falklands that are raised with a focus on soft, wearable wool. It has the velvet feel of merino with a longer staple length and a bit of sheen; this medium-fine grade wool is springy, offering durability and excellent stitch definition. The silk adds strength and a subtle sheen, enhancing the durability and elegance of your finished projects.To learn more about this yarn, read theblog.
