Hand-dyed, Plant Dyed Sock Knitting Yarn

Our Blue Faced Leicester sock yarn is an unbelievably soft springy wool, with amazing sheen and strength. It is spun in England and then hand dyed by us, with natural dyes here in our dye house in France.

These 4 ply yarns have been chosen with sock knitting in mind, so they are soft and robust. However they are used equally successfully for hats, scarves, bags, cushions, gloves and baby wear.
