Our Exmoor Horn quality DK wool in 100g balls is as near to “nature in a ball of wool” as possible.

30% Exmoor Mule wool, which is a cross between Exmoor Horn & Blueface (aka Mule).

All our DK yarn, whether spun in Devon or Yorkshire, is worsted spun, so will give you good pattern definition.

DK wool composition.
The colours Earth Red, Dark Skies Blue, Heather Purple, Fern Green and Gorse Yellow reflect the colours of the landscape where the wool grew. They, and natural, are all spun in Devon on Exmoor and are a 70:30 blend of Exmoor Horn wool and Exmoor blueface (aka Exmoor mule) which is a cross-bred sheep derived from a Leicester blueface ram on an Exmoor Horn ewe. So our resulting blend is effectively 85% Horn.

Each ball is approximately 250 metres long per 100g
