Castleshaw Yarn is derived from local sheep in the valley here, which sits on the edge of the Pennines. The yarn is woollen spun in Yorkshire and has a very traditional soft, bouncy yarn, the sort of yarn that you could quickly knit up a jumper in, and feel cosy and soft immediately. 

The natural colour - HARE - is a silvery grey, with a slightly warm feel.  The colour comes from the Castleshaw Coloured Ryelands sheet, when mixed in with the Dorset sheep that also live in the valley.  We also have a small proportion of the valleys pet sheep - cheviot, jacob, border leicester, and valais that can go into the mix which would otherwise go to waste.
