Description

This British 3ply DK weight worsted spun Jacob yarn comes in natural shades showing all the characteristics of the interesting multicoloured Jacob in its non-superwash-treated state.

Jacob is a bouncy, robust yarn can be used for accessory and garment projects where strength and crisp stitch definition are a priority. One of the most hard wearing and pill-resistant yarns we sell, the Jacob is an ideal choice for sweaters that will be worn and worn. It has a crunchier handle than its BFL cousin, making it less suited to next-to-the-skin projects. We recommend adding a teaspoon of hair conditioner to the basin when soaking your Jacob knits as this will nudge the yarn in a softer direction.

West Yorkshire Spinners are a family run business, firmly rooted in the the worsted spinning and textitle traditions of the area. All their yarns are spun from British fleece, at their mill in the Aire Valley. By working closely with local sheep farmers and wool merchants they created their 100% Jacob Fleece to champion British wool and its place in our textile heritage.
