TOWN END YARNS
I produce soft, luxurious knitting wools. Although retired from breeding alpacas in the Lake District, I still use my knowledge of alpaca fibre. All my yarns have some alpaca in them and it’s mostly from animals bred in the UK. I love fleece and I’m fascinated by the different characteristics of British sheep. The fleece is spun and dyed in the UK. I sell the yarns at shows such as Yarndale and unravel, on-line and through selected yarn shops across the country.
Some of the yarns are also knitted into socks in the UK. The full range of alpaca and wool socks, and special offers are available through our other brand Arbon Socks.

'Thames' is an Alpaca DK yarn. We have combined alpaca with Merino wool and silk to produce a DK knitting yarn in an exclusive blend which has been spun for us in the UK. This luxurious Double Knit knitting wool is a blend of 45% Peruvian baby alpaca, 35% superfine, organic Falklands Merino wool and 20% Mulberry silk.
Thames Alpaca DK yarn has been dyed in the Scottish Borders in seven muted, sophisticated colours along with an undyed option.
This yarn knits to standard double knitting patterns, (but always knit a tension swatch). There are approximately 225m per 100g. The yarn is sold in 100g hanks. If you would like us to ball your yarn for you, please make a note on the order.
