Worsted Wonder: Winfield's Classic Knit Yarn
Unleash your inner wanderer with this sun-kissed treasure a vintage-inspired charm whispering tales of hidden groves and starlit nights. It's more than just an item it's a vibe a story waiting to be lived.
Winfield is a lofty 2-ply worsted weight with great stitch definition. This yarn is 100% Canadian, made with a dorset-base down type wool sourced from Ontario, spun in New Brunswick, and hand-dyed in our Montreal studio. Winfield has a beautifully “toothy” texture and comes in 24 rich and vibrant shades, making it a perfect choice for colourwork.

Circle R Livestock: A Family Farm
One of our big goals for Sweet Paprika this year was to source a new line of Canadian wool yarns.
