Cairngorm was designed as a companion to Number 1, our ever-popular undyed lace.
To be able to match the specialty of Number 1, we needed to source some special fibre. Whilst developing our worsted-spun blends, we stumbled across this delicious Romney lambswool. Produced from the first clip at around 6-8 months old, these short, silky fibres are a treat for woollen spinning.

We've a new batch of Beacons on the way, which means we need to clear the shelves to make space. While stocks last, these are 20% off, and we're retiring a few shades too, so this could be your last chance.
A good DK yarn needs purpose and structure, and Beacons has that in abundance. a smooth, soft and springy 3-ply yarn, this is a timeless favourite.
Our Polwarth comes from Dunbar Island, part of the Falkland Islands, famed for the snow white superfine fleece. These sheep produce a long, smooth fibre that has excellent stitch definition and soaks up dye like a sponge.
The Polwarth is lifted by some Romney, sourced from a flock in Wiltshire. We chose this lustrous longwool to add structure and some complexity to the blend.
