Dive into the colorful world of William Morris!

Not only was he a phenomenal artist and craftsman, but he was also a poet, scholar, and a game-changer in the realms of design and craftsmanship. His fabulous wallpapers and textiles are just the tip of the iceberg! Since 1955, the William Morris Society has been on a mission to keep his legacy alive. West Yorkshire Spinners has teamed up with them to create a yarn that is a tribute to this artistic heritage. Their amazing craftspeople are passionate about British wool, and know exactly how to blend fibers to create top-notch yarns. 

Morris is a special yarn featuring three fabulous British fleeces: the luxurious Bluefaced Leicester, the robust Bluefaced Kerry Hill, and the delightfully rustic Masham. This unique blend is machine washable (lay flat to dry), and comes in a stunning color palette that captures the vibrant hues of the Victorian era.
