Description

Our Coara Sport or DK Weight is a cracking yarn. It is a woollen spun 2ply yarn and is a colour workers friend! The yarn is ideal for fairisle work as it is slightly toothy and grippy but with a dash of softness too.
Spun in Yorkshire using British fibres in a blend of 70% Blue faced Leicester and 30% Shetland. Simon & Kirsty have then lovingly added their natural dye magic using both local and ancient dyes to achieve their colour palette.
50g skeins :: 166 metres / 181 yards
