Zwartbles DK is a bouncy, round yarn that offers good stitch definition and structure. The rich, dark brown has tiny flecks of grey for subtle visual interest. 

The wool is from a smallholding just a couple of villages away here in south-west Wiltshire, and was going to be used as compost. I carefully sorted and skirted it, choosing only the best fibres. The yarn is semi-worsted spun at Rampisham Hill Mill in Dorset.

The yarn is springy and slightly dense; it'll be perfect for structured everyday garments, large cables and bold texture.

TRACEABLE

My Mendip yarn is made from British wool locally sourced from a single flock at Fernhill Farm in the South-West of England, less than 20 miles from my home.

The wool is carefully scoured, then spun at a small mill in Wales. From there, it arrives at my studio in Wiltshire to be dyed.

HAND DYED

I dye all my yarn colours by hand in small batches of up to 10 skeins, in semi-solid and variegated colour ways.

I use synthetic, non-toxic dyes, ensuring excellent colour-fastness so your project will last for years.

SUSTAINABLE

This yarn is 100% natural fibres, with no plastic or superwash process involved, so it will biodegrade naturally over time, along with anything you create from it.

The sheep that provide the wool for this yarn play an important role in a holistic land management system designed to regenerate the soil where they graze.
