We're happy to be able to offer you Methera - naturally hand dyed to order by Ginette MacDonald of Colourworks. Ginette has been dyeing for many years and we're thrilled she has been able to work her magic with our local yarn, bringing a completely natural range of colours. Please note that the colour may vary from the ones shown and will take up to 2 weeks. Please enquire before ordering to discuss your requirements.
Methera is a beautiful blend of wool, handpicked from four different breeds of sheep, all sourced from four local farms in Lancashire and Cumbria.
Methera (four) comes from a sheep counting system (yan, tan, tethera, methera) that was traditionally used by shepherds in northern England.
It mixes a small percentage of Zwartbles with Cheviot, Shetland & BFL, resulting in a light grey base colour. It’s a 4 ply weight and worsted spun in Yorkshire for drape and strength, while still maintaining its wooliness!
