Hand Dyed Southdown- Dreamlight

Discover the beauty of 100% British Southdown wool roving, hand-dyed with care in Somerset. This springy, resilient wool comes from Southdown sheep, one of Britain’s oldest and most cherished breeds.

The natural loft of the wool creates airy, bouncy yarn - to maintain its natural loft and springiness keep your drafting light and the twist levels moderate. Perfect for knitting cosy garments that hold their shape beautifully.

Our hand-dyed Southdown roving boasts vibrant, rich colours, making every spin an exciting and creative journey. The wool's texture and grip offer a satisfying spinning experience, while its durability makes it ideal for hard-wearing projects like socks and mittens. 

Proudly sourced from British farms, this wool helps reduce your carbon footprint while supporting local agriculture. Add this hand-dyed Somerset treasure to your fibre stash and experience the joy of spinning with heritage wool, perfect for any hand-spun creation!

Great for socks, mittens, hats and everyday sweaters- offering good durability. Southdown isn't overeager to felt and depending on your treatment of it, it may even be machine washable (but always test a swatch first!)
