Description
A 100g Wool Top of Clapdale Wool.
A blend of soft white wool from Bluefaced Leicester (BFL), North of England Mule, Texel and Dalesbred.
Each 100g is a (approximately) 6 metre carded sliver that’s been carded and combed in Yorkshire for worsted spinning – this makes it super soft and perfect for hand spinning and felting.
This is undyed so it is predominately a natural cream colour with a tiny amount of darker black and brown wool fibres.
If you order more than 100g, where possible we will supply as a continuous length of top rather than split into 100g lots.
The Project
The Clapdale Wool project was launched to create a fully traceable yarn that benefitted local farmers with help from the Yorkshire Dales National Park Farming in Protected Landscapes fund.
The wool in this wool top comes from just 7 farms surrounding Glencroft’s Yorkshire Dales warehouse. Farmers were paid a premium price for their clip through the British Wool Traceable scheme and in addition a share of 10% of the profits from all sales will also go back to the farms. This wool top contains all the sheep breeds on these seven Clapham farms.
The wool was collected from farms and sorted by British Wool in Bradford, scoured 2 miles down the road then carded and combed in Bingley before returning to Glencroft – a round trip of about 90 miles. Most of these wool tops have gone on to be worsted spun into their Clapdale Wool hand knit yarn.
