Morris DK is a special collaboration with the William Morris Society. It is a Double Knitting (DK) weight which is made using three quality British fleeces; lustrous and luxurious Bluefaced Leicester, soft and durable Bluefaced Kerry Hill, and the rustic and charming Masham.
The yarn's colour palette is inspired by the Victorian era and the Arts and Crafts movement, offering a luxurious yet rustic feel suitable for garments and homewares.
Ideal for everyday garments and accessories including socks, Morris DK is soft and durable with strength and structure, making it a pleasure to knit or crochet with. West Yorkshire Spinners Morris DK is proudly spun in Yorkshire using fleece from sheep reared and sheared in the UK.

West Yorkshire Spinners was founded in 1997 during a time when many spinning mills were closing due to the increase in yarns being imported from overseas. This was also a time when natural fibres were now in decline, giving way to synthetic, man-made fibres and an opportunity was spotted for more sustainable products.
West Yorkshire Spinners built a spinning mill from scratch with a strong reputation for high-quality natural-fibre yarns. They work closely with local farmers and champion British wool and its fascinating heritage. Today they have a range of unique and innovative products that demonstrate what can be achieved by blending British wool and manufacturing ingenuity.
Still a family business today, all West Yorkshire Spinners products are spun in the Aire Valley, West Yorkshire. They develop yarn blends and colours in-house taking inspiration from seasonal trends, as well as shades that suit the fibre. At Yarn Worx, we are happy to carry these wonderful yarns including ColourLab DK, ColourLab Aran, Croft DK, Exquisite 4-ply and a number of blanket kits.
