From Rachel: The overall color is a complex and natural black with shifting colors of rich brown shot through with silver grey fibers. A soft handle produces knitted fabric with bounce and structure. The yarn retains its original (and famous) signature scent of the fields, flock and new lambs in straw-filled barns.
Spun in Devon by John Arbon Textiles, the Grade 1, fine Hebridean fleece comes from a 2019 clip sourced in the North of England having an excellent staple length for yarn with luster and a soft halo. The Zwartbles fiber it is blended with originates on Exmoor not far from the mill.
Please remember that every effort is taken to represent the true colors of the yarn and that monitor settings will vary.
