Sheepsoft 4-ply | Hand Knitting Yarn

Sheepsoft 4-ply is a beautifully balanced British yarn spun from soft Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) and durable Masham wool, with 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 character of wool.

Soft, lustrous Bluefaced Leicester adds smoothness and drape, while Masham wool contributes strength, durability and gentle texture. The result is a lightweight 4-ply yarn that is both soft enough for garments and robust enough for projects that will be worn and loved for years.

True to its Yorkshire roots, Sheepsoft is produced with remarkable local provenance from fleece to finished yarn in less than 50 miles. This close-to-home production keeps the supply chain short while celebrating the heritage of British wool.

The palette of 12 heathered shades is created by blending the natural colours of Masham fleece with fibre-dyed Bluefaced Leicester. This technique produces beautifully nuanced tones with subtle depth and character, reminiscent of the Yorkshire landscape that inspired them.

The result is a yarn that feels both traditional and contemporary, perfect for fine knit garments, textured accessories and timeless pieces that showcase the natural beauty of wool.
