Details
Wensleydale 4ply is a premium yarn designed for hand dyers who value lustre, finesse, and exceptional performance in finer gauges. Made from high-quality Wensleydale wool, it is renowned for its long staple fibres and distinctive natural sheen, creating a yarn with beautiful visual depth and a refined, polished finish.
This highly lustrous fibre reflects light naturally, giving finished fabrics a subtle glow and excellent clarity when dyed. Its smooth surface allows colour to take cleanly and evenly, producing rich, bright results that highlight both colour and fibre character.
With its lightweight yet structured handle, Wensleydale 4Ply is ideal for detailed, precision work, from fine lace and lightweight garments to socks and delicate accessories, offering excellent stitch definition and drape. It combines strength with elegance, making it a versatile choice for both intricate everyday makes and elevated pieces.
Non-superwash – hand wash cool and lay flat to dry.
Yarn Specification
INFORMATION
Please Note: Product photography across the website currently shows yarn in hank twisted form. As part of our transition to a new stock-supported format, yarns will now typically be supplied untwisted to make them easier to dye and prepare for use.
During this transition period, some existing stock may still be supplied in hank twisted form while we work through current inventory. As a result, orders may arrive in either presentation format.
The yarn itself remains unchanged, with no difference to fibre, construction, weight, or quality.
