The Scottish Yarn Festival official yarn

Scottish Yarn Festival DK We're proud to stock this beautiful Heritage DK yarn from the Scottish Yarn Festival, a wool-rich blend that celebrates the best of traditional British fibre production. Slow-grown in Scotland and expertly mill-spun in Yorkshire, this yarn brings together 80% Shetland wool and 20% Cheviot wool to create a characterful, versatile yarn with exceptional stitch definition. Each 100g hank contains approximately 230 metres of DK-weight yarn, making it ideal for a wide range of garments and accessories. The carefully developed palette features subtly heathered shades throughout, adding natural depth and richness to both knitting and crochet projects. The combination of Shetland and Cheviot fibres creates a yarn that holds texture beautifully, allowing cables, lace, and other intricate stitch patterns to shine. Its heritage-inspired character makes it particularly well suited to traditional ganseys, fisherman-style sweaters, cardigans, and other enduring wardrobe pieces designed to be treasured for years to come.
