Our Exmoor Sock Yarn enhances the durable character and bounce of the fibre from our local Exmoor Blueface sheep - a cross breed of the Exmoor Horn (full bodied and hard-wearing) and the Bluefaced Leicester (renowned for its softness and lustre).  We’ve added naturally dark browny-black Devon Zwartbles giving extra bounce and a subtle fleck of colour, Falklands Corriedale to enhance softness and stitch definition, plus a little Nylon too for added strength and durabilty.

The Exmoor Sock range has a beautiful mottled grey hue from the addition of the bouncy, naturally dark browny-black Zwartbles.  Spun with a high twist and a touch of nylon (for strength), it is perfect for socks or other hardwearing garments. It is also superwash so takes dye really well, allowing for super bright shades as well as lighter tones that show the heathered grey through the dye, whilst also being machine washable.
