100% YORKSHIRE MULE WOOL

This hank is spun from the fleece of a breed of sheep called a mule which grazes in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in and around the picturesque town of Malham. A mule is a cross between a Swaledale (the much-loved face of the Yorkshire Dales National Park) and a Bluefaced Leicester. The yarn comes naturally pre-blended courtesy of the sheep!
