DURASPORT – another beautiful, minimally processed wool yarn from Canada's oldest woollen mill, Briggs & Little in Harvey, New Brunswick since 1857. Spun with time-honoured tradition, this sturdy 80% Canadian Wool/ 20% Nylon, single-ply yarn has a natural, rustic character - slightly textured and wonderfully warm, with the honest feel of real wool that softens beautifully with wear and washing.
Wound into generous hanks like it's sister, Sport, Durasport is even more versatile. The addition of 20% nylon means you can even use Durasport for projects needing more durability for wear, like socks! Whether you're knitting cosy mittens, gloves, socks, sweaters, vests, scarves, or hats, or even weaving blankets and upholstery material, this yarn rises to the occasion. Its smooth, single-ply construction makes it a fantastic choice for colourwork patterns, where stitch definition and colour clarity truly shine.
