These  farmers had small flocks, which were truly loved and cared for, but were not producing enough fleece to warrant it being spun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we hatched a plan, to work with these farmers, and produce a blend from the county we call home. It was to be a truly British yarn, traditionally woollen spun and produced in Yorkshire. Working alongside skilled artisans that bring the heritage of  Yorkshires historic textile industry into the modern era. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hampshire is a scrumptious lofty yarn, with good stitch definition. Once blocked the fabric blooms and has a silky quality which only improves with wear. Just right for a snuggly cardigan or a colour work project. The colours are based on the natural colours of our home county, working with the variegated base rather than trying to obliterate it with saturated colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy love us and invest it our yarn?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur farm has been here since Tudor times.
