Coast from Baa Ram Ewe comes in a generous double-sized 200g skein: ideal for projects that need uninterrupted yardage without joining. Made from 100% British wool in aran weight, it has the honest character you'd expect from a British breed yarn: warmth, structure, and a natural hand that softens with wear and washing. Not superwash treated, so best for projects that can be hand washed or worn as outerwear.

rooted in tradition and rich with character

Coast is a yarn that we would categorize as a storyteller. The Storyteller carries the echoes of older traditions. These yarns come from heritage fibres, time-honoured spinning methods, and colour palettes shaped by generations of makers. Working with them connects today’s projects to the long, shared history of textile craft.

Storytellers are often a little rustic by nature. They may feel more “sheepy” than modern processed yarns and can be better suited to outerwear or layered garments if you have sensitive skin. Give them the care they deserve: swatch thoughtfully and follow laundering instructions.
