This limited edition Southdown 4ply is a small batch yarn from the Southdown sheep breed, which is a very old heritage breed of English sheep, descending from the Sussex and Kent areas of England.
This yarn is extremely bouncy and elastic, plump and has no halo at all. The handle is pretty soft (although this is relative of course!), and it would be the perfect yarn for tiny scarves, shawls and hats. If you fancied venturing into fingering weight sweater territory it would be good for that too. You could also hold it double for an aran weight gauge.

This BFL/Jacob DK yarn is non-superwash and nylon free. It has magnificent texture, with the sheepy characteristics of the Jacob coming through, while still retaining the drape from the BFL. It would be beautiful knitted into a sweater, hat, shawl or cosy cowl. It is not recommended for socks as it is not spun tightly enough. Check out the Hearth Sock or Natural Sock for sock yarn! It is a 2-fold worsted spun yarn.

The Galway sheep is Ireland’s native sheep breed, which was on the endangered list in the 1980’s. The Galway Wool Co-op was started to protect and promote the breed, and this yarn is in collaboration with the Co-op. Please note this is not next to skin soft, but would be great for outer garments like sweaters and cardigans as it is strong and rugged. This wool was used originally for traditional Aran patterns for fishermen, but would also be great for cushion covers, blankets etc
Description: Dry and crisp. Perfect for cables, texture and colourwork.

This yarn has been spun up especially for WMFC and it’s super special. It is a nylon free, non- superwash UK sourced and spun yarn suitable for socks. It has a higher than usual twist, making it durable yet comfortable on the toes. It would also be suitable for shawls or perhaps even a lightweight sweater! It is a 3-ply construction (three strands twisted together make up the thread), and is therefore more rounded than the Natural Sock.

The Causeway Yarn is my hyper-local-to-me yarn- a blend of Oxford Down and Teeswater from one prize winning flock, looked after by Malcolm McClenaghan and his son. The flock usually stay between Ballymoney and Portrush in the lush green fields we have here. The Teeswater gives the yarn lustre and the Oxford Down gives it bounce and crimpiness, resulting in a beautifully lustrous and bouncy woollen spun yarn. Perfect yarn for sweaters, cardigans (especially colourwork!), shawls, mittens, hats….or tiny scarves!

This yarn is a unusual blend of Malin Head Alpaca wool, combined with Blue Face Leicester. The result is a luscious, beautifully balanced rustic yarn that combines warmth, softness, and stability in a way that is optimised for the Donegal climate.
It is beautifully drapey (but the 50% wool gives it sufficient bounce to be practical) and next to skin soft, perfect for children’s balaclavas or hats (check out Ailbiona’s Mariner’s Hood) or for sweaters, (check out Ailbiona’s Treilis Sweater- a thing of beauty! it was also designed in this yarn).
Perfect for many knitting occasions!
