100g ball of Cream 100% British Breed Wool, Double Knitting thickness wavy Boucle.
The main yarn is lightly spun and has a binder thread, in a similar shade, wrapped around it. This gives it a lovely wavy texture. Brand new, superb quality wool ideal for knitting, crochet, craft or felting projects. Knits on 3½mm - 4mm needles. It has a gorgeous natural wool texture so is ideal for jumpers, cardigans, jackets, bags etc etc etc. Approximately m per 100g ball (I will update asap when I have measured).
I would expect it to felt well if washed at a high temperature but I haven't had chance to check yet. ** Update: It felts VERY well indeed **
Please Note: This wool has a natural texture. It is NOT superwash wool and is therefore not as soft as superwash wools can be. (Superwash wool is softer because the wool has been placed in an acid bath to remove the 'scales' from the fibre. It is then coated with a polymer which means the wool can be machine washed without shrinking. The texture of this 100% British Sheep Wool is much more natural; it still has its scales as it hasn't been treated with acid nor coated with polymer; much kinder to the environment! Because it is more natural and has not been through as many processes it may have a 'sheepy' smell which washes out.
Aftercare: To avoid shrinking, handwash gently in cool water. Re-shape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry. Very, very cool iron if needed.
** Several balls available in this listing ** (Check above to see how many are available).
I have tried to show the colour, texture and thickness as accurately as possible in the photos. It looks accurate on my screen, but all screens vary. I am happy to send a short length of any of my wools/yarns as a sample so that you can see the colour, texture and thickness before you decide.
