This yarn is 100% British wool, spun in Yorkshire, and hand dyed here in Yorkshire too. It’s a lovely woolly yarn, with a soft handle and gentle shine and drape from the Bluefaced Leicester. The natural colour of the yarn is a soft oatmeal, which is the result of the natural colour of the Masham fleece blended with the natural cream colour of the Bluefaced Leicester. Consequently, hand dyed shades have a lovely heathery tone.

Handwash gently and lay flat to dry

As with all hand dyed yarns, I would recommend that you use two skeins at a time, alternating from each one every couple of rows/rounds (unless it’s a one-skein project).
