More about our Lace Knitting Yarn
Our naturally dyed fine lace-weight 2-ply knitting yarn, can be bought here.
When you click on that link above, you will be taken to the Individual 250m Hanks page, which might confuse you, as it is the same as the Crewel Wool page.
This is in fact the case. The Crewel Wool and the Fine 2-ply Lace-weight Knitting Yarn are in fact the same yarn.
General Information
The yarn is worsted spun making it smooth and tangle free, whether knitting or undoing!
It is 2-ply (2/24) therefore adding to its natural strength.
All the shades are naturally dyed, the dyeing, winding and labeling are done by hand.
Our yarn is 100% lambswool, spun especially for us in Yorkshire, England.
