Wooltrace is the range where Bramble & Fleece take provenance as far as it will go. Every hank carries a QR code that traces the wool in your hands back to the farm it came from, and the scheme guarantees fair payment to the sheep farmers and welfare standards for their flocks. The 4 Ply is worsted spun from 100% British Bluefaced Leicester, the breed prized for its long, lustrous, silky staple, and it shows: this is a smooth, round, quietly glossy yarn with excellent stitch clarity.
Perfect for fine-gauge jumpers, shawls, ponchos and colourwork accessories. The twelve shades are solid rather than heathered, which suits the lustre of the fibre - colours read clean and saturated, from Ecru and Silver Skies through Dried Lime and Sunset to Claret, Violet Blue and Perfect Navy. It is a palette built for contrast, so stranded and intarsia motifs stay crisp.
