Fairmount Fibers Pip Colourwork Yarn – 031 Pickering | 100% British Wool

Build a distinctive colorwork palette with Pip Colourwork 031 Pickering from Fairmount Fibers, a traditional British wool yarn designed for knitting with multiple shades.

Pip Colourwork comes in compact 25g balls, giving knitters the freedom to combine several colors without buying full-size skeins for sections of a project that may require only a small amount of each shade. It is particularly useful for Fair Isle, stranded colorwork, patterned yokes, hats, mittens, borders, and knitted motifs.

Pickering 031 is part of Pip’s fibre-dyed collection. The range is known for complex, nuanced shades, with many colors showing subtle traces of additional tones rather than the flat appearance of a completely uniform solid. This gives traditional colorwork added depth while allowing the pattern itself to remain the focus.

Pip is made from 100% British wool, with each fleece carefully graded by hand. The wool is sourced from sheep cared for by British farmers who adhere to strict ethical standards. Fairmount Fibers also specifies that 100% of the wool comes from non-mulesed sheep.

Each 25g ball contains approximately 127 yards, making Pickering easy to combine with other shades across the Pip Colourwork range.
