What is the fibre content of Ashford DK yarn?

This yarn is a blend of finer micron Corriedale and Perendale wool, carefully selected for its softness, strength, and versatility. Corriedale adds silky smoothness, while Perendale provides resilience and elasticity, making it perfect for knitting, weaving, and crochet.

What is the recommended needle size for this yarn?

The recommended needle size is 4.00–4.50mm (US 6–7), which produces a fabric with moderate drape and good stitch definition. For tighter or looser fabric, adjust needle size accordingly.

Is Ashford DK yarn suitable for weaving projects?

Yes! This versatile yarn is excellent for weaving and works well as both warp and weft in rigid heddle and floor loom projects. It produces soft yet durable woven textiles.

How should I care for items made with this yarn?

Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is recommended. Avoid agitation to prevent felting. Lay items flat to dry to maintain their shape and texture.

What is the length of yarn per 100g ball?

Each 100g ball contains approximately 202 meters (221 yards), making it ideal for medium-sized knitting projects, such as sweaters, scarves, and hats.

What is the tension gauge for this yarn?

The recommended gauge for knitting is 20–22 stitches x 28 rows per 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches), making it a versatile choice for textured or stockinette stitch projects.

What is the weaving sett recommendation for this yarn?

The recommended sett is 7.5–10 dents per inch (dpi) (30–40/10 cm), depending on whether you're weaving a looser or denser fabric. A tighter sett is best for structured fabrics, while a looser sett allows for a softer, more drapey fabric.

What are the available colors for Ashford DK yarn?

The yarn is available in 36 beautiful colors, including neutrals, pastels, deep fashion tones, and classic hues. This extensive palette allows for a wide range of colorwork and design possibilities.

Is this yarn suitable for crochet projects?

Where is Ashford DK yarn produced?
