Our stunning Titus yarn showcased the magnificent Wensleydale sheep with its drape and silkiness, and paid homage to Bradford mill owner Sir Titus Salt. Now our Dovestone DK celebrates another local breed, the Masham. By blending the fleece of the Bluefaced Leicester and Masham, along with the drape of the Wensleydale, we have created something truly special. Soft yet robust and with a lovely woolly bounciness, Dovestone is perfect for jumpers, cardigans, accessories and home items.
