Holm is 100% bluefaced leicester which is a wonderfully strong, yet soft fibre. Don’t let anyone tell you that the sheep fleece we breed in the UK is only good for carpets because this yarn is spun from 100% British fibre and is divine! It is perfect for shawls, scarves and lightweight garments and it takes dye beautifully. We’ve developed a range of layered tonal shades that knit into wonderfully complex fabrics…

We kettle dye Holm in small batches using a variety of techniques to develop layered tonal shades and complex variegated effects.

Although Holm is a superwash fibre, we recommend hand washing in cool water to preserve the vibrancy of the dye
