Gosta Green

£22.00

Gosta Green lies at the edge of Birmingham City Centre and is the location of Aston University.

Historically Gosta Green was known as 'Gosty Green' and was part of the parish of Aston. It was probably named from its holding by William de Gorsty in the early 14th century. It was known as Gostie Green by the mid 18th century, the name being a corruption of Gorsty to gorse, a reference to gorse bushes, locally called 'goss', which grew locally.

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.
