Description:
Dovestone Natural Aran is a wonderful blend of sumptuous Bluefaced Leicester with two Yorkshire sheep breeds, the Wensleydale and the Masham, and created a palette of five natural undyed shades carefully mixing lighter fibres with rarer dark fleeces of each breed. Perfect for warm, hardwearing sweaters and accessories yet keeping Dovestone’s wonderfully soft handle, the Dovestone Natural Aran range will be your go-to cosy yarn choice. Play about with gradients or colourwork with the tight palette of shades, or pick one and curl up to make your new favourite sweater.
