Beacons DK is built for knitters who demand both substance and softness. This thoughtfully crafted blend of organic Polwarth, Romney, and Hebridean wool delivers a buttery-smooth finish that feels wonderful against skin, making it ideal for garments worn close to the body. The robust 3-fold worsted construction creates stunning stitch clarity, bringing cables and textured patterns to life with beautiful definition. Choose from a vibrant range of striking solids, understated heathered tones, and enchanting marled shades that add depth and character to every project.
This Polwarth comes from Dunbar Island, part of the Falkland Islands, famed for the snow white superfine fleece. These sheep produce a long, smooth fibre that has excellent stitch definition and soaks up dye like a sponge. Adding some depth and texture to the Polwarth is some long and lustrous Romney from farms in the South West of England, and stunningly rich Hebridean from the rugged Scottish Highlands.
