Cumbria is a lustrous blend of brown wool from the English Masham sheep breed, fine South American Merino wool and Argentine Mohair.
The resulting light brown-grey shade is then over-dyed creating lovely deep saturated colours inspired by England’s stunning North West region with its deep blue lakes and sheep-grazed fells and valleys.
Cumbria is a staple yarn, perfect for garments and accessories alike. This is the fingering weight or 4-ply version – it has a rustic but soft handle and is versatile in its gauge.
