Airedale 4ply combines the best of British wool with ethical sourcing and superior quality. The blend of Bluefaced Leicester and Masham wool results in a yarn that is not only strong and durable but also incredibly soft to touch. This yarn offers excellent stitch definition and a delightful soft handle.
Due to the nature of hand dyed yarns and methods used, no two skeins are identical, even when dyed together within the same dye lot. If using more than one skein in a project we recommend alternating skeins every few rows to ensure even colour throughout your project.
Each skein has been hand dyed using professional grade colourfast dyes. Yarn is rinsed thoroughly in plain water, (we do not use soaps or soaks, scented or otherwise) but a small amount of colour run may occur during the first wash, especially if a soap or soak is used. Only hand washing is recommended in cool water then lay flat to dry. All yarn bases have been ethically sourced and are cruelty free (non-mulesing)
We always try to accurately represent yarn colours but due to monitor variations the colours may vary slightly from screen to screen. Our photos are taken in natural light.
We are a smoke free, pet friendly household. All our yarns are stored away from our pets and every care is taken to ensure our pets do not come into contact with the yarn.
