YORKSHIRE YARN
North American knitters can discover beautiful
yarns from Yorkshire at the Flying Fibers store.
Along with its own Yorkshire Medley yarn, a
British Longwool blend, it stocks a gorgeous
range including West Yorkshire Spinners,
Doulton Border Leicester, and Wensleydale
Longwool SheepShop, plus a large choice of
fibre for spinning. Visit the store in Landisville,
Pennsylvania, or browse the online shop.
