Bramble & Fleece Sheepsoft 4-ply | Hand Knitting Yarn

Sheepsoft 4ply by Bramble & Fleece, formerly By Laxtons, is a beautifully balanced British wool yarn spun from soft Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) and characterful Masham wool, with the fleece sourced and spun within just 50 miles in Yorkshire. Light, versatile and gently heathered, it’s ideal for sweaters, socks, shawls and everyday knits that celebrate the natural beauty of British wool.

Lustrous Bluefaced Leicester brings softness, smoothness and drape, while Masham wool adds strength, durability and a gentle texture. Together they create a lightweight 4ply yarn that is soft enough for garments yet robust enough for projects designed to be worn and enjoyed for years.

True to its Yorkshire roots, Sheepsoft has remarkable local provenance, travelling less than 50 miles from fleece to finished yarn. This close-to-home production keeps the supply chain short while celebrating Yorkshire’s rich wool and textile heritage.

The palette of 15 heathered shades, including the new Ingleton, Richmond and Thirsk, is created by blending the natural colours of Masham fleece with fibre-dyed Bluefaced Leicester. This creates beautifully nuanced tones with subtle depth and character, inspired by the Yorkshire landscape.

Traditional in its origins yet thoroughly contemporary, Sheepsoft 4ply is a beautiful choice for fine-knit garments, textured accessories, colourwork and timeless pieces that showcase the character of natural British wool.
