We are thrilled to have Daughter of a Shepherd’s limited release yarn,Ammonite. Ammoniteis a 4ply/fingering weight yarn combining the fiber of Hebridean and Exmoor Blueface sheep – a magic marl that knits into a beautiful melange. Rachel, the owner of Daughter of a Shepherd, says this yarn is “probably our softest yarn to date” and with the same specs as Heritage and Brume 4ply, they knit up beautifully together!

• Breed: 100% British Wool (50% Hebridean / 50% Exmoor Blueface)
• Weight: 4ply / Fingering weight
• Package: 437 yards per 100g skein
• Needles: US 0-7 needle or hook
• Gauge: 26-32 sts over 4

Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
