Down wools
Down breeds come from the chalk downs of southern England, and their wool behaves quite differently from the lustre longwools. It's matte rather than shiny, with a fine dense crimp and a remarkable springiness, so it makes wonderfully bouncy, elastic yarn with great stitch definition. It resists felting, which makes it a sensible choice for socks, sweaters and anything that needs to keep its shape in the wash.
Here you'll find Southdown white wool top, the original Down breed, undyed and ready to spin or dye.
