Sheep breeds can be sorted into five categories according to their fleeces: Down wools, Fine wools, Long wools, Medium wools and Heritage wools. Green Mountain Spinnery and John Crane Studio present five limited edition undyed yarns each representing the special qualities of its category.

This 100% sheep’s wool yarn blends multiple medium wool breeds sourced worldwide.  Medium wool fleeces typically have fibers 3 to 4 inches long and 25 - 30 microns in diameter.  They produce excellent ‘sweater wool’ that is soft enough to be comfortable and strong enough to wear well.
