Briggs & Little Softspun is made of 100% Canadian wool, and milled in the Briggs & Little mill located in York Mills, New Brunswick. The mill was first started in 1857, making it Canada's oldest woolen mill.
Made from a 25 micron wool, this yarn is soft enough for most people to wear next to the skin. This light worsted weight yarn is suitable for knitting sweaters, vests, scarves or hats. See Briggs & Little Softspun Hand Painted for 5 playful hand-painted shades of the same yarn base, perfect for a colourwork project!
