Sourced & spun in Yorkshire, England, Origin No. 009 is a worsted/ Aran weight yarn spun with 100% undyed Corriedale wool.

Lightweight, yet cozy, the 4-ply yarn delivers a soft, bouncy hand with a gentle wool halo.  The yarn possesses beautiful stitch definition for stranded colorwork, textured stitches & cables.

Corriedale wool results in a “smooshy” yarn with superior memory & elasticity.  It is excellent for stranded colorwork & also recommended for new knitters due to the ease of working with the yarn.  Corriedale has a beautiful bloom to even out stitches after blocking.

The natural bright, light cream/ white is sought after for dyeing, as the base color results in bright, even tones.

This lofty yarn is wonderful for sweaters, cardigans, throws, pillows & cold weather accessories such as mittens, hats, cowls & scarves.
