Our popular Yarn Over Yarn is now available as a heavy fingering weight (4ply) yarn!
50% reclaimed mill fibre + 50% "new wool" - NSW-grown English Leicester (from our friends at Bellevue Park Wool). We call this range our "Yarn Over" Yarn because we are using some of the fibre over again!
Did you know that it is normal to experience a loss of 40% of weight for most yarns from fleece to final product? Some of that weight is lanolin and dirt but a lot of it is just fibre that falls/flies off the machinery during the yarn making process. Normally, this fibre is bagged up and disposed of. But we have reclaimed some of this fibre and blended it with a "new wool" grown right here in NSW to produce this lovely woolen spun yarn.
This yarn is a 3-ply construction, 350m (approximately 100g). This is a woolen-spun yarn and has texture and the occasional thicker or thinner sections.
Please note: we have tried our best to accurately photograph the colours of this yarn. However, colours may look different on your screen than they do in person.
