Cleckheaton
The stunningly soft extra-fine Midlands Merino 8 Ply is a delicious single origin yarn that knitters knit for!
Sourced from a single pure Merino flock in southern Tasmania, the farm is renowned for their progressive approach to farming and fibre production.
Their Responsible Wool Standard certification ensures land management and animal welfare best practice is adhered to, highlighting their commitment to producing responsible wool from sheep to store.
The Midlands Merino range produces high-quality, soft-handling fabrics that will suit a range of projects. We love that it’s machine washable, making it the perfect choice for all members of the family.

ABOUT CLECKHEATON
