A beautifully soft and distinctive sport-weight yarn from Riverknits, spun from 100% Leicester Longwool sourced from Astcote in Northamptonshire, and spun and hand-dyed in the UK.
Leicester Longwool is a lustrous, long-staple British wool known for its smooth handle, excellent stitch definition, and fluid drape.
Northampton Shear is particularly well suited to shawls, scarves, hats, and lightweight garments. These semi-solid colourways show off the depth and subtle variation of Riverknits’ dyeing beautifully.
