This program is an exciting development with a searchable database containing the almost 2000 books, videos, and patterns which we keep in stock. That huge number makes it impossible to put all of them in the catalog so this is the most practical way to tell you about them. It’s complete and it’s searchable, allowing you to look for books or videos by author, title, craft, or general description. The Pattern Search has the same capabilities plus the ability to search by yarn weight (e.g. DK), suggested yarns (e.g. Peace Fleece), gauge, warps per inch, and yardage needed. We know that you will fi nd our digital tools useful and enjoyable so relax and give them a try.

Bluefaced Leicester is a fine, semi-lustrous longwool with a staple length that ranges from 3 – 6 inches. 313 It originated from the Border Leicester breed.

Item 311 - Wensleydale Longwool Top, Ecru With such wonderful characteristics as lustrous sheen and smooth long locks, it’s no wonder 311 Wensleydale is a favorite among spinners. The average staple length ranges from 8 – 12 inches. It is well suited for spinning from the fold or you can simply pre-daft and spin. Since Wensleydale has a tendency to spin into a fairly dense yarn, you may want to blend it with another wool top.
