Description

This is an old school proper DK with a smooth worsted spin, made from a blend of the fleece of three celebrated British breeds: Bluefaced Leicester brings lustre, Bluefaced Kerry Hill adds softness and durability, and the Masham comes with a rustic liveliness .

WYS worked in collaboration with the William Morris Society to create the Morris DK shade pallete, drawing on the colours of the original Morris & Co textile designs, and their part in the history of English interior deisgn and manufacturing heritage.

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 create their yarns to champion British wool and its place in our textile heritage.
