Patons Eco Wool Chunky is a chunky 100% untreated new wool yarn, making it the ideal yarn for autumn or winter knitting. The spinning process gives the yarn a ‘home spun’ look and a soft touch, and answers the demand for eco yarns that are so popular this season. Brilliant textures and shading make this yarn something special.

Shadow Tweed is a soft chunky yarn from Patons that creates a country style tweed effect. The 100g balls are a wool, acrylic, viscose mix which are surprisingly soft and make cuddly knits and home accessories that are perfect for winter.
