How the yarn behaves
Heritage-style worsted wool — sturdy, bouncy, with excellent stitch definition. Slightly rustic on the needles but softens with each wash. The structural balance of fibre and loft makes it a default for cables, colourwork and everyday sweaters. Superwash and tweed variants are also in the family if washability or speckle matters. Hand wash and dry flat for the non-superwash version. Note that recent batches have run slightly lighter than older ones.
