BRINGING LOCAL WOOL BACK TO LIFE How Merrick Scottish Blackface Knitwear is using fashion as a force for good

It began during the cold war as a project to combine Russian wool & American wool to create a yarn - “Warm wool from a Cold War” became the Peace Fleece motto

Cherry Wood - Morag DK May and enchanted landsMorag DK is my latest custom spun yarn, made exclusively for The Wee Yarn Company! I wanted to feature a native Scottish breed so this yarn is a blend of 60% BFL and 40% Hebridean fleece. This yarn was created with garments in mind so it's soft, squishy, and delightfully woolly. The naturally black Hebridean wool makes this base a steely grey before dyeing adding a lot of depth and richness. 100g 240m. Recommended needle size 3. 75m 4. 5mm.
