A 100% brushed British wool yarn at 4ply weight, Mowool achieves something that sounds like a contradiction: the luxurious, halo-rich appearance and bulk of a mohair-style yarn, from pure British wool alone. No mohair. No alpaca. No exotic fibres. Just British wool, brushed to draw out the long fibre length into a soft, airy halo that gives the yarn its characteristic warm, enveloping quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe secret is in the wool itself. British wool has a natural crimp and elasticity that remains within the fibres despite constant wear, and its ability to trap air makes it one of nature's most effective insulators. The longer fibre length of the wool used in Mowool — worsted spun to preserve that length — is what allows it to be brushed to such effect, creating fabulous bulk and warmth without the corresponding weight. The result knits up with a softness and drape that feels considerably more luxurious than its pure wool composition might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 4ply weight with 235m per 50g hank, Mowool is finer than it looks — the brushed halo gives a deceptive impression of bulk that belies the delicacy of the base yarn. This means it knits to a surprisingly light, airy fabric with excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for shawls, wraps, lightweight scarves, and garments where warmth and softness are needed without heaviness. It also lends itself beautifully to stranded colourwork, where the halo softens the colour transitions between strands in a particularly pleasing way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAll wool used by Baa Ram Ewe comes from non-mulesed sheep and meets BS 984 standards — an important ethical commitment from a company deeply invested in the quality and welfare behind their materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe stock Mowool in Buttercup Yellow, Thatch Yellow, Shakespeare Black, Maypole Red, Bonfire Night Orange, Cider Green, Hedgerow Green, Dragonfly Blue, Heritage Blue, and Patchwork Purple — a bold, characterful palette drawn from the festivals, countryside, and traditions of British life. The yarn is supplied as a hank and will need winding into a ball before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFibre content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Brushed British Wool \u003cstrong\u003eHank weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50g \u003cstrong\u003eMeterage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 235m per 50g hank \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4ply \u003cstrong\u003eRecommended needle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.25mm \u003cstrong\u003eTension:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28 stitches and 36 rows to 10cm in stocking stitch \u003cstrong\u003eStandard:\u003c\/strong\u003e BS 984 \u003cstrong\u003eSupplied as:\u003c\/strong\u003e A hank — wind into a ball before use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Mowool different from a mohair yarn?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mowool achieves a mohair-like halo and bulk using 100% British wool alone — no mohair is used. The longer fibre length of the wool, combined with the brushing process, draws out a soft halo that gives the yarn its characteristic warm, airy appearance. For knitters who want the look and feel of a brushed halo yarn but prefer to work with pure British wool, Mowool is a genuinely distinctive alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat weight is Mowool — it looks much thicker?\u003c\/strong\u003e Despite its appearance, Mowool is a 4ply weight yarn. The brushed halo gives a visual impression of bulk and weight that the base yarn itself does not have. This means it knits to a light, airy fabric with excellent warmth-to-weight ratio — considerably lighter than the finished fabric appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat projects is Mowool best suited to?\u003c\/strong\u003e Shawls, wraps, scarves, lightweight sweaters, and cardigans where warmth and softness are priorities without heaviness. The brushed halo also works beautifully in stranded colourwork, where it softens colour transitions between strands. It is particularly well suited to simple stitch patterns — the halo tends to obscure complex textured stitches and cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come as a hank or a ball?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is supplied as a hank and will need to be wound into a ball before use. A ball winder or swift makes this straightforward, and we are happy to help in store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the wool from non-mulesed sheep?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. All wool used by Baa Ram Ewe comes from non-mulesed sheep and the yarn meets BS 984 standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should Mowool be washed?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash only in cool water and lay flat to dry. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or wring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baa Ram Ewe","offers":[{"title":"Buttercup Yellow","offer_id":57051941962103,"sku":"6090","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thatch Yellow","offer_id":57051941994871,"sku":"6065","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Shakespeare Black","offer_id":57051942027639,"sku":"6008","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Maypole Red","offer_id":57051942060407,"sku":"6070","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bonfire Night Orange","offer_id":57051942093175,"sku":"6051","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cider Green","offer_id":57051942125943,"sku":"6028","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hedgerow Green","offer_id":57051942158711,"sku":"6015","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dragonfly Blue","offer_id":57051942191479,"sku":"6057","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Heritage Blue","offer_id":57051942224247,"sku":"6005","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Patchwork Purple","offer_id":57051942257015,"sku":"6056","price":10.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0076\/2288\/5428\/files\/butter.webp?v=1777381089","url":"https:\/\/craftandcanvas.live\/products\/baa-ram-ewe-mowool-100-brushed-british-wool-50g","provider":"Craft and Canvas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
