British Breeds Aran

A bold new addition to the beloved British Breeds family, British Breeds Aran offers the same carefully curated blend of 100% British wool—now in a thicker, Aran-weight form for even more texture, warmth, and stitch definition. Spun with the same integrity as its lighter sibling, this yarn is perfect for textured stitch work and Fair Isle knitting, especially in the richly detailed patterns by Marie Wallin.

Crafted from four distinct British sheep breeds, this yarn showcases the best of British wool: durability, softness, and a natural, woolly character. Its melange-dyed palette of 12 beautiful shades enhances the depth and dimension in colorwork, making every project both classic and captivating.
