Yarnhouse Ryeland 50g DK

The Valley's Yarnhouse own brand, spun exclusively for us near Builth Wells, Ryeland wool is soft, resilient, and stretchy, with good insulating properties and excellent stitch definition, making it ideal for textured knitwear, blankets, and other cozy garments. It is known for its natural crimp, which traps air for warmth, and comes in both white and a variety of natural coloured shades, from cream to dark brown, grey, and fawn.

Characteristics of Ryeland wool
