West Yorkshire Spinners Wool Revival DK - British Yarn

West Yorkshire Spinners Wool Revival DK

The Wool Revival DK yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners is a thoughtful and sustainable choice for knitters and crocheters who care about both quality and environmental responsibility. Every year, the mill gathers leftover British wool fibres generated during production and gives them a fresh life: carded, combed, spun, locally dyed and finished — all within a ~10-mile radius of the mill. 
The result is a beautifully balanced DK-weight yarn (100g ball, ~225m) composed of recycled British wool for natural warmth & breathability, and recycled nylon for strength and durability. The palette offers a range of muted, nature-inspired tones — making it ideal for garments, accessories and home-wares with an organic aesthetic.
Whether you're creating a cosy sweater, a pair of warm socks, or a textured shawl, this yarn gives you both the feel of British wool and the reassurance of a sustainable manufacturing chain.
