About The Croft yarn

The Croft is a beautiful British yarn, 100% pure Shetland wool in aran weight, spun locally in Yorkshire.

We are carrying the ‘Sullom’ natual shade and you can match your hand-dyed yarn and knit your projects with any of the other colours in the Croft range (available from West Yorkshire Spinners.

The Croft patterns

The Croft will knit to most aran patterns (check your tension!) and there are two lovely pattern books over on the West Yorkshire Spinners website.

At just £9.50 per 100g ball it’s a fantastic British yarn – you can buy yours here.
