Lonk Undyed British 4ply Hand Knitting Yarn
****Available for delivery now ****
100g skeins of undyed 100% traceable British Lonk yarn, fully processed and spun in Yorkshire.
Due to the overwhelming success of our kickstarter campaign, as well as using the fleece from Ed and Laura’s flock of Lonk sheep, which can be found grazing around the moor above Heptonstall, this year we are also working with 3 other nearby farms, all of which are known to Ed and Laura to increase the quantity of yarn available as we know so many missed out last year. (Head to the “About Us” section on our website to read about the farmers we are working with) With Lonk sheep being a rare breed we still only have a limited quantity available.
The fleeces have been collected and graded at British Wool in Bradford, West Yorkshire before continuing to the processing mill in Huddersfield.
We have redeveloped this yarn for the 2022 clip. It will be spun to a slightly thicker weight, so as to be a truer 4ply thickness. The natural un-dyed skeins of yarn will also go through an additional steaming process which sets the twist and ‘opens’ the yarn for a slightly softer handle.
Choose to buy either single 100g skeins or choose the stash pack of 5 skeins to save £10 and have enough Lonk loveliness to complete a full garment.
Yarn length per 100g skein: Approximately 460m/ 492 yards
