The West Yorkshire Spinners Morris DK in Chrysanthemum is an ideal choice for knitters and crocheters looking to create timeless, high-quality autumn and winter garments. Developed in partnership with The William Morris Society, this blend combines British Bluefaced Leicester, Bluefaced Kerry Hill, and Masham wools to offer a unique balance of luxury, softness, and rustic durability. While the complex blend provides an exquisite texture and authentic Victorian-era color depth, crafters should note that the fiber composition is best suited for items requiring a warm, durable finish rather than next-to-skin delicate projects.

No, it is recommended to hand wash only to preserve the quality and texture of the British wool blend.
The suggested needle or hook size for this DK weight yarn is 4mm.
No, this yarn is made from a blend of three quality British fleeces: Bluefaced Leicester, Bluefaced Kerry Hill, and Masham.
While durable, the rustic nature of the Masham wool might be too coarse for sensitive infant skin; it is better suited for adult garments or decorative home textiles.
As with all high-quality natural fibers, avoid long-term exposure to direct, harsh sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the Victorian-inspired hues.
Ensure you are using smooth, high-quality needles and check your tension; if you are a tight knitter, consider sizing up your needles by 0.25mm.
Use a high-quality wool conditioner or hair conditioner during the final rinse stage to soften the natural fibers.
Before starting your project, always create a tension square to ensure your gauge matches the pattern requirements for DK weight yarn. For best results, use 4mm knitting needles or a 4mm crochet hook.
Care instructions are critical for maintaining the hand-feel of the natural fibers. We recommend a gentle hand wash in lukewarm water using a dedicated wool wash detergent. Lay the finished item flat to dry on a clean towel, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause the wool to felt or lose its natural luster over time. Always store clean, dry garments in a breathable storage bag away from moths.
