Kingfisher
Who doesn’t love a Kingfisher? We are sometimes lucky enough to be treated to a flash of vivid blue as we walk along the Bourn Brook in Woodgate Valley.

Yarn
100% Bluefaced Leicester 4 ply / sock 100g skeins (approx 350m)
100% Bluefaced Leicester double knit 100g skeins (approx 225m)
100% Shetland super chunky 200g skeins (130m)
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.
Fibre
The Shetland combed top comprises approx. 100g of Pure British Shetland wool, which is dyed to Oeko-Tex 100 standard and complies with EN71-3:2019. It is custom blended at a family-run British spinning mill in Yorkshire and is suitable for spinning or felting.
I photograph in natural daylight, however colour variations can occur between monitors.
