British Breeds Jumper

British Breeds 4-Ply is a soft, bouncy, and beautifully heathered yarn created by renowned designer Marie Wallin to perfectly complement her signature Fair Isle and colorwork designs. Spun in the UK from a thoughtful blend of four native British sheep breeds—Bluefaced Leicester, Exmoor Horn, Romney, and Zwartbles—each fiber adds its own unique character, creating a yarn that's full of life, texture, and charm.

With a fine but lofty handle and a subtle natural sheen, this yarn is perfect for both colorwork and solid texture pieces, offering beautiful stitch definition and a gentle bloom after blocking. The carefully curated palette of shades harmonizes perfectly, making it an ideal choice for multi-color projects.
