This yarn is truly special! Each skein is lovingly and skillfully hand-dyed with plant dyes, resulting in a particularly harmonious colour palette with warm, earthy tones and a few bright highlights to set the special accent you might want. It is spun from Bluefaced Leicester and Masham, two old sheep breeds, which are bred in the north of England for over one hundred years. The yarn is pleasantly soft with a gentle sheen and knits up very easily. It is equally suitable for sweaters and accessories of all kinds.
