Take flight with Magpie - this hand dyed sock yarn that has it all! You'll love the colour combo of silver, black and vibrant blues following the playful patterns of magpie feathers. Our BFL, Alpaca, and Bio-Nylon blend is feather-light, so your feet will never have to worry about feeling weighed down. So go ahead, give your knitting some pizazz and soar with Magpie!

Discover Woollen Wytch's new Yarn base featuring hand dyed BFL, bio-nylon, and alpaca for maximum softness, strength, and warmth.

Experience superior comfort and warmth with these luxurious sock yarns made from 100% hand-dyed British wool (Blue Faced Leicester, and UK Alpaca). The soft and airy fibres make the perfect socks that will hug your feet giving you that cosy feeling all day long. 

Fine enough to be comfortable against your skin yet durable and long wearing, Blued Faced Leicester is one of my favourite British wools to work with. Use it to make soft hardwearing sweaters, socks, mittens and hats, as well as nicely draping woven fabrics for clothing. 

With softness comparable to Merino, BFL is stronger and more durable- making it less likely to break or pill.  Add in this yarns Bio-Nylon and you've got yourself premium quality sock yarn that is the perfect choice for a comfortable and durable pair of socks. 

These 100g skeins are one off- once sold they will be redyed as 50g skeins- perfect for two at a time socks. 

100% British Yarn

Unlike most yarns suppliers, I have worked hard to ensure my BFL yarn is 100% British- both produced, sourced, and spun in the UK. Most popular Indie yarn dyer wholesalers in the UK send their British wool overseas, across the globe to be spun- adding a huge carbon footprint, and adding the unknown ethical and socio-economic implications of cheap labour costs of developing and middle-income countries. 

Woollen Wytch is proud to hand dyed 100% British yarns and fibre.
