We are thrilled to present Marie Wallin's new yarn: British Breeds Aran. This soft and bouncy yarn, in the perfect color palette, is exactly twice as thick as Marie's British Breeds 4ply, making it what we know as a worsted weight here in the US. It is a lovely way to knit heavier weight garments using Marie Wallin's British Breeds!
Like the British Breeds 4ply, this yarn is composed of the perfect blend of British Breeds, making it great for knitting cables or Fairisle colorwork.
BREED: 100% British Wool (Blend of Bluefaced Leicester, Exmoor, Romney, and Zwartbles)
PACKAGE: 50 gram ball
WEIGHT: Worsted
LENGTH: 93 yards (85 meters) / 50 gram ball
GAUGE: 19 sts and 26 rows = 4" on US 7 Needles
CARE: hand wash in cold water only, using a mild liquid detergent suitable for delicate woollens and reshape while damp.
Made in the UK
Marie Wallin's new book, Aran, is a beautiful collection of 12 designs especially designed for her British Breeds Aran Yarn.
I had sheep growing up and the wool smells like my childhood. It also knits up beautifully.

Aran Yarn
I loved working with Aran yarn as I knitted a Marie Wallin sweater named Seahouse. The colors in the yarn complement each other and I like the stitch definition. I highly recommend this yarn for color work.
