Wensleydale Chunky (bulky) weight 100g (3.52 oz) skein Rouen shades in purple

£23.50

Regular price £23.50

100g (3.52 oz) skein.  

Hand spun pure Wensleydale  - spun by the Woolly Wizzard to a chunky/bulky weight, 10sts to 10cm on 8mm (US 11). 

Using our own premium Wensleydale locks from our Home Farm flock of Wensleydales - this fabulous designer, with over 40 years experience, creates her wonderful hand-spun art yarns with love, care and attention to detail. 

The blend of colours in this funky yarn are stunning.  The wool is soft, lustrous and every bit as luxurious as you would expect from this beautiful longwool sheep.

Please note - due to the originality of this product, the quantity in stock is limited. However, if you contact us we can arrange to have larger amounts spun just for you.  

Use 8mm (US 11) needles and check your tension.

Corinne has shown a sample of this wool woven - please see picture 5.

 

 

 

Packaging

Wherever possible we will use paper packaging

However, Europe, US, Canada and Rest of World, it is not always possible to use paper due to the soft contents of the package.  If this is the case, we use 90 micron polythene mailbags.  Recycling guide: LDPE 4 (Low density polyethylene).

Low-density polyethylene, or LDPE, is number 4-coded plastic, commonly used to manufacture shopping bags, dry cleaning bags and flexible bottles and lids.  Although not as commonly recycled as number 1 polyethylene terephthalate or number 2 high-density polyethylene, LDPE recycling is gaining traction as its post-consumer uses increase. One use is combining recycled LDPE with wood to create composite lumber suitable for light applications. All these plastics can be recycled into different products, but of the three, LDPE results in the most greenhouse gas savings when it's recycled.  

But please - do not put number 4 LDPE plastic into a recycling bin unless you are sure it is accepted. Otherwise, you could contaminate an entire batch of recycled plastic.
