Naturally Blended Light Grey DK – 50g
A Yarn with Story and Character
Inspired by the rugged hills of the Scottish Borders, our Naturally Blended Light Grey DK carries the spirit of the land where hardy sheep have grazed for generations. The character of this wool reflects the landscapes of the Ewes Valley, where flocks have long thrived on the Border hillsides.
These are the same valleys where our ancestors once lived and worked the land – and where stories of the Border Reivers, who rode the hills reiving and raiding centuries ago, are still part of local heritage. Each skein brings a small piece of that history into the craft of knitting.
