Spun in Yorkshire, UK

HeartSpun is a yarn spun out of a love for British wool and the environment!

HeartSpun Yarn is a unique yarn spun from the fleece of Bluefaced Leicester sheep, which is both strong and soft and drapes beautifully once knitted. These elegant sheep are blessed with fine, soft and semi-lustrous fleece.

Bluefaced Leicester sheep’s fleece is known for its softness, but the fibre is also hard wearing and has wonderful stitch definition, making it equally ideal for both more durable items and lace garments.

If you haven’t ever heard of Tencel™, it is made from renewable wood pulp from Eucalyptus trees grown in certified sustainable forests in Europe and South Africa.  It is 100% biodegradable and the production of Tencel™ requires less energy and water than fibres such as bamboo, cotton and viscose.  For more information on the environmental credentials of Tencel™ visit https://www.tencel.com/sustainability

Combined together, Bluefaced Leicester and Tencel™ creates a beautiful soft yarn with a luxurious smooth sheen.  It is strong, breathable, naturally anti-bacterial and hypo allergenic.

Now available in lots of gorgeous colours including Natural, Marmalade, Sky Blue, Denim Blue, Silver Grey, Teal, Raspberry and Scarlet
