Lovingly handspun art yarn, made from organic wool fom my next door neighbour’s flock of Soay and Hebridean sheep, hand blended with ultra soft brightly coloured Merino and recycled plastic bottle fibre.

I’ve named this yarn “Suffolk Tweeeeed” as it’s made from a traditional English tweed sheep breed, but updated with modern colours and fun textures! The natural dark browns of the Hebridean and Soay sheep blended with the bright reds, purples, lime greens and turquoise of the merino make for a great thick n thin, ultra bulky knit!

Suffolk Tweeeeed is mostly made from wool from my wonderful next door neighbour’s flock back home in Suffolk, England - a lovely rural county in the east of the country - where legend has it that twice as many sheep live there as Humans!

I hand washed the fleeces after a family friend sheared the hot little sheep last summer, then combed the fleece with hand carders, blending the raw Soay and Hebridean fibres with super soft organic merino dyed commercially in rainbow brights and a little recycled plastic bottle fibre for texture.

Finally, I hand spun the yarn with my Ashford Traditional wheel, placed in front of my roaring fire over the winter.
