A bold new addition to the beloved British Breeds family, British Breeds Aran offers the same thoughtfully curated blend of 100% British wool — now in a thicker, Aran-weight form for even more warmth, texture, and stitch definition. Spun with the same care and integrity as its lighter sibling, this yarn is perfect for cables, textured stitches, and Fair Isle knitting, especially in Marie Wallin’s signature patterns.
Crafted from four distinctive British sheep breeds, this yarn celebrates the best of British wool — durability, softness, and a natural, woolly hand. The melange-dyed palette of 12 beautifully blended shades adds depth and harmony to every project, enhancing colorwork and classic designs alike.
Why we love it: Authentic British wool with rich depth, incredible stitch definition, and timeless character.
