Again with the Wensleydale yarn from Beech Hill Farm in Sussex:
This stuff really is like high-grade organic chocolate. You feel the weight, the lustre, the quality of the fibre and you know you’re looking at the good stuff. Wensleydale sheep are the consequence of a genetic accident; Their fleece contains no core fibre, and it entirely composed of lengthy staple fibres. This gives the yarn a very beautiful drape when spun and knitted, as well as a gorgeous sheen.
This crate of skeins reminds me of a box of organic chocolates.
