Doulton Border Leicester Review

Doulton Border Leicester comes in 100gm skeins and the DK has 200metres per skein. 100% pure worsted spun wool, is gorgeous quality with excellent stitch definition and does not split when crocheting. This is not a prickly wool yarn!

This range of yarn from a rare breed herd of sheep includes 4ply, DK and Aran. The range also includes a mini skein selection, all close blends that have won a wool award, good for a try out of this lovely quality yarn.

I used a 3.5mm hook but a 4mm or 4.5mm would work with the DK. The full range of colours includes blues, oranges, brown, greens and a gorgeous lilac. All the colours are cleverly and carefully blended so any two colours will work well together. Check out the purple and orange I’ve used here. This yarn would be good for crochet scarves, hats and throws.

Buy direct from Doulton, visit the site here, or visit them at one of the many wool, yarn and craft events they attend around the UK. If you are into knitting they have a lovely collection of exclusive patterns and knitting kits. Buy here.....
