V20 & V21 DK Tester Skeins 10gms

These 10gm mini skeins are ideal if you haven’t tried our yarn before and want to test it out! Or if you already know our yarn but want to experiment with some colours these will work well. There’s enough in each 10g skein to produce a nice swatch and test the fabric that it can produce.

Available in vintage 20 and vintage 21, in DK.

THESE ARE LIMITED EDITION SKEINS!

When they’re gone, they’re gone!

vintage 20 is a unique blend of the softest British wool fibres. White fleeces from Shetland and Bluefaced Leicester sheep, mixed with a hint of brown Shetland to create its natural fawn base - providing solid richness for our dyed colours. The Shetland fibres provide strength and softness, with the BFL added to give lustre and drape. Worsted spun to give a smooth and luxurious handle.

Vintage 21 matches the softness of vintage 20.  We chose fibres from an award-winning British flock of Polwarth x Romney sheep in Northumberland to create a yarn unique to wool decanted. The base is a delicious rich cream, which soaks up colour.  And in a recent review by Knitting magazine, vintage 21 was described as delivering “…the kind of stitch definition you might expect from a Merino”

Both yarns, perfect for next to skin projects, are worsted spun to the same 2/9Nm (4ply) and 4/9Nm (DK) specifications. This produces a deliciously soft, lustrous, and nicely elastic fabric with excellent stitch definition and lovely drape.

Our fleeces: 100% British.
