This is our 100% British wool yarn! It is our most traditional style yarn. The shetland gives the yarn wonderful warmth and strength, the BFL gives a lovely loftiness and the grey alpaca gives a soft halo while tinting the yarn towards the grey scale. Washed with warm water the yarn has a fantastic bloom. It is a little more hardy than the merino blends.
