2 oz., 135 yards, DK weight, woolen spun

Clun Forest is a springy yarn with good crimp, elasticity and bounce. Yarn will be warm and take abuse, think fisherman’s sweater, everyday shawl and mittens.

Yarn spun “woolen” goes through a carding process that creates a web of crossed fibers. The lack of alignment in the fibers creates a yarn with loft, there is more air between the fibers, so the yarn is lighter and more insulating. Woolen spun yarn is a good choice for sweaters, just as semi-worsted spun yarn is a good choice for mittens.

Clun Forest is a heritage breed and featured in the Livestock Conservancy’s “Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em” promotion. A “Shave ‘Em to Save ‘Em” sticker is included with each purchase.
