We are delighted to work with Rachel of Daughter of a Shepherd to bring you this run of, Drover. This beautiful yarn is made with wool from Hebridean sheep raised in Yorkshire and milled by John Arbon in Devon. Drover is 100% British and a very special sock yarn. Now available in 5 natural shades to create a gorgeous gradient. Purchase individual skeins or the 6 or 12 Pack Gradients. One or two of each color would be a lovely stash for your sock making or maybe you have your eye on a shawl!
Drover is a lovely sock yarn from Rachel at Daughter of a Shepherd. Drover is constructed from 3 plies of high twist, worsted spun fiber with a pinch of nylon to create a hardy sock yarn also suited to accessory and garment knitting.

We recommend purchasing 2 skeins of this sock yarn (totaling 100g) for an average-sized pair of socks.
Knitting with this yarn was one of the most satisfying experiences I’ve had. It’s light and woolly and sticks to itself; the fabric is warm and resilient; and every now and again, I’d pick up the skein and breathe in a pure wool scent.
I was really sorry when I finished the pair, so I put in another order for more. I don’t think I can have too many socks in this wool.
Brilliant yarn.
Can't get any fresher, nor sheepier smelling than this. I've made several accessories with it and now on to socks. Thank you Team TWT for bringing this wonderful yarn to us.
My sister-in-law loves it! It's always a pleasure buying from TWT. I am never disappointed.
