DROVER Sock Ultimate Bundle
A limited edition bundle of Drover yarn including one skein each of the five solid shades plus two skeins of our new Drover marl, Roseberry Topping, and there's a little something extra for the first 30 orders.
Roseberry Topping is our first 'traditional' marl spun from 3 different but naturally coloured plies which knit into a unique fabric that looks equally fabulous on its own or when paired with our solid Drover shades for colourwork and this will be your first opportunity to try it before the official launch.

Drover is constructed from 3 plies of high twist, worsted spun fibre with a pinch of nylon to create a hardy sock yarn also suited to accessory and garment knitting.
Available in five natural, un-dyed fleece shades:
Whernside; dark, Hebridean + Zwartbles
Ingleborough; mid grey, Hebridean, Zwartbles + Exmoor Blueface
Pen-y-Ghent; light grey, Hebridean, Zwartbles + Exmoor Blueface
Buckden; palest grey, Hebridean, Zwartbles + Exmoor Blueface
Drumaldrace; neutral, Hebridean, Zwartbles + Exmoor Blueface
For environmental reasons and to preserve the natural lustre of the fibre we do not scour after spinning so it is important to wash swatches to achieve a correct gauge measurement.
