Heritage DK from Daughter of a Shepherd is a complex and completely natural, dark pitch brown in colour with a reddish tint that becomes silvery grey or tan in different lights. A soft, somewhat drapey, lustrous handle produces a fabric with bounce and structure when knitted. The yarn retains its original (and famous) signature scent of the fields, flock and new lambs in straw-filled barns.

Finest grade 1 Hebridean fleece from the late summer 2019 clip of a flock in Yorkshire is blended with Zwartbles fibre from Exmoor, not far from the mill where the yarn is spun. 

Heritage does not get a second scour after spinning so Daughter of a Shepherd advises you make and wash a swatch to see the full potential of the yarn before starting your project.
