Sourced & spun in Yorkshire, England, Origin No. 003 is a worsted/ Aran weight blend of undyed Bluefaced Leicester & Masham wool.

Lightweight, yet warm, the 3-ply yarn delivers beautiful stitch definition & a gentle wool halo.  Bluefaced Leicester wool has a natural luster, soft hand & excellent moisture-wicking properties.  Masham wool is known for excellent insulation properties due to the long staple.  It dyes beautifully & impresses with soft durability & drape.

The natural warm grey/ brown heathering of this base results in stunning, deep colorways that give stitches incredible depth & movement.  

The yarn is exceptional for cozy sweaters, wraps & accessories such as cabin socks, hats, mittens, cowls & scarves.
