This Wensleydale Aran yarn is from the great for knitting soft cowls, scarves, and sweaters. The British Aran weight is what we know here in the US as a worsted weight. The Wensleydale Sheep produce a fine longwool with beautiful luster and these colors are just scrumptious. The worsted spin produces a fineness and sheen which creates a silky look and feel. Great for knitting soft cowls, scarves, and sweaters!
