Re:Treat from West Yorkshire Spinners is a 100% Bluefaced Kerry Hill single plied, worsted spun, chunky, roving style yarn, reared, sheared and spun in Britain. The roving style of the yarn means that it has been very lightly spun in one direction only so that the fibres are held together very lightly. This means that the finished fabric will be as soft and airy as it can possibly be but not as strong. Take care not to untwist the yarn while knitting or crocheting as it may fall apart. We would recommend this yarn for accessories such as hats, scarves and cowls where softness is a priority. It is not an ideal yarn for garments as the fibres are so gently held together it will be susceptible to pilling and felting in places such as cuffs and underarms.

This yarn is not superwash treated so we recommend gentle hand washing without rubbing or wringing and drying flat. Did you know that wool repels dirt naturally? Regular airing in cold air between washes can extend the life of the accessory.
