This naturally colored Border Leicester DK yarn has a silky hand to it and enough drape to lend itself well to shawls or scarves but also substantial hold up to show off stitch definition if you need it to. These sheep have long, strong fibers with silky sheen and a certain ‘tooth’ to hold onto colorwork or offer good bounce or structure. The sheep that provided these fleeces live on Yankee Rock Farm in Orwell, VT, where they are well loved and cared for by two shearers. Each skein is 2ply , 100 grams and 220 yards.
