50g Aran British wool balls - 100% British wool

Our Aran British wool yarn is a 100% wool yarn traditionally used to knit cable sweaters in coastal regions of Britain and Ireland, with the Irish island of Aran giving it its name. Aran yarn has always been worsted spun and hank dyed, ours follows these traditional methods.

This yarn is a timeless choice for makers who want warmth, structure, and definition in every stitch. Spun from 100% British wool, this yarn celebrates traditional craftsmanship and will reward the maker with a project that will still be here in years to come.
