‘Westmorland Worsted’ is an alpaca and wool yarn. It is our own blend of 50% British alpaca with 50% soft, fine Blue Faced Leicester wool.
Westmorland Worsted is available in its natural oatmeal grey and twelve over-dyed shades which give depth to the colours.
This yarn knits to worsted or light aran weight knitting patterns, (but always knit a tension swatch). There are approximately 200m 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.
Wash gently by hand or in the wool cycle of your machine with a small amount of non-bio detergent. Do not tumble dry. The yarn has been washed, but some surface residue dye may come out in the first wash, particularly with the deeper colours.

An Aran weight blend of 80% alpaca with 20% Shetland sheep wool. We bought the Shetland fleeces from a local farmer. The fine, crimpy Shetland blended with UK alpaca has been woollen spun to trap air for a warm, bouncy yarn. The natural greys and whites of the fleeces have produced a soft natural grey yarn. .
