5ply Guernsey British wool 250g Cones A traditional 5ply guernsey style yarn made with 100% British wool, by Woolyknit. Slightly heavier than a 4ply yarn, but lighter than a DK, this yarn could be used with ‘sport weight’ patterns. However, it is best when used for knitting traditional guernsey sweaters on smaller needles (2.5mm), creating a tightly knit fabric. Composition: 100% British wool Approx.
