NEW Colors!! A blend of Polwarth, Romney + Hebridean, Preseli is Garthenor's softest yarn ever. To create the subtle, complex pair of bases that make up Preseli, they're mill-blended as tops before spinning. By blending this way, Garthenor Organic is able to get a smooth, even top that keeps the deep grey blend, perfect for heathery tones once dyed. A dream for colorwork.
Garthenor Organic was the first company in the world to make yarn that was certified organic from sheep to shelf, and they've never stopped being planet-loving trailblazers. Recently, their mill was featured alongside the National Woollen Museum in a segment on the revival of Welsh wool and the local industry. A must-watch for fiber lovers!
