Cringle Moor DK yarn

Description

Also known as Crainmoor, Cringle Moor is the third highest hill in the North Yorkshire Moors. Alfred Wainwright, the famous walker, described this stretch of the Moors as one of the finest. Just to the west of it is the burial mound of Drake Howe, a Bronze Age monument – ‘Howe’ is Old Norse for ‘burial mound’.

This beautiful worsted spun high end Border Leicester yarn is grown here on our farm in North Yorkshire, from our pedigree flock of over 300 pedigree Border Leicester sheep, who all live to grow old.

After shearing we handpick the fleeces and transport them to Bradford for washing, combing and worsted spinning. The result is stunning.  With a great handle, stitch definition and drape, it is the perfect yarn for your special project. British through and through and we are very proud of it!
