West Yorkshire Spinners Morris DK in the Daisy (1275) shade is an exquisite choice for knitters and crocheters looking to create heirloom-quality garments with a nod to the iconic aesthetic of the Victorian era. Developed in collaboration with The William Morris Society, this blend of British wools offers exceptional warmth and durability, making it ideal for cozy autumn and winter projects; however, crafters with extreme wool sensitivities may find the rustic characteristics of the Masham fiber less comfortable against bare skin compared to purely merino-based yarns.

No, this yarn is made from natural British wool and should be hand washed to prevent shrinking or felting.
DK stands for Double Knitting, which is a medium-weight yarn that typically works well on 4.0mm needles.
While warm and natural, it may be too rustic for newborns with delicate skin. It is better suited for older children or adult winter wear.
Please check the specific ball band for your lot, but West Yorkshire Spinners Morris DK typically comes in 100g hanks.
The dyes are high quality, but it is always recommended to perform a colorfastness test if combining the Daisy shade with white or very light colors.
This is a natural characteristic of the wool blend; use a fabric shaver or wool comb gently if you prefer a smoother finish.
Wash the finished garment with a high-quality wool conditioner or hair conditioner to help soften the fibers significantly.
To achieve the best results, it is recommended to swatch using 4.0mm (US 6) needles or hooks, though gauge can be adjusted based on the desired drape of your garment. Before beginning a project, always perform a test square to ensure your tension aligns with your pattern requirements.
