The British Wool Marketing Board classes Dorset Down wool as one of the highest grade wool in the country and considerable quantities of it go to the hosiery trade. It is a perfect yarn for experienced and starter knitters alike, and offers a Dorset like crimp but it is more downy in its texture which makes the overall feel a lot more spongy. Through buying this wool, you are supporting a Native Breed flock who are on the 'At Risk' RBST register. Approx. weight 50g - natural without colour.
