This wonderfully classic yarn is the ultimate

combination of luxury and practicality. Made

from 100% Merino wool, it knits up into a

crisply stitched but soft fabric that keeps

its shape well, and promises durability for

anything you make. Each of the six yarn

ball colours in the range has been carefully

developed to work eortlessly with the next,

and includes romantic Rose, perky Forget-

Me-Not, as well as earthier tones like beige

Straw and black Charcoal. Ideal for those

who love to knit dramatic Fair Isle patterns,

we predict once you cast on this reliable

real-wool option it’ll soon become one of

your go-to favourites.
