Cuckoo Road

£22.00

Cuckoo Road is located in Nechells, to the north east of Birmingham City Centre. The road used to be lined with Victorian Terraces but these have now been demolished and the area is now home to industrial and retail premises, Cuckoo Road being the location of Star City leisure complex. The map shows the area between 1941 and 1952, where foundries and metal working premises are in operation. The pink and yellow of this colourway is evocative of the flames in the furnaces.

Our non superwash yarn is spun in Yorkshire from British fleece and hand dyed in small batches in Birmingham. Whilst colour consistency between batches is good, due to the dyeing process no two skeins will be identical and there may be slight colour variations between batches. It is therefore recommended that you buy enough yarn from the same batch to complete your projects and that you alternate skeins every other row.

Once you have completed your garment, it is recommended that you handwash your finished item in lukewarm water with your wool wash of choice and lay your washed garment flat to dry. Although the yarn is thoroughly rinsed after dyeing, some slight colour bleed may occur at first wash.

I photograph my yarn in natural daylight, however colour variations can occur between monitors.
