This yarn reminds me of young men with handlebar moustaches, wearing tweeds, and riding sit-up-and-beg bicycles. This yarn is a wonderful Bluefaced Leicester, which gives the colours a little hint of shimmer. I have handpainted the yarn in violet and turquoise. The colours range from dark purple through to a hint of green, and I've kept some pale, blue-grey patches which I think add depth.

The result is a kettle-dyed look with lots of range but the colour shifts are subtle. This yarn is a generous 400m, so you can make two socks from one skein - great value! This is a superwash yarn, which would make it great for socks, but also blankets, shawls, scarves or anything close to the skin.

This yarn would also be great for baby clothes, accessories - anything that requires a great-quality sock, 4ply or fingering yarn.

This is a super-limited edition yarn but if you want more skeins or a slightly different shade, please message me and I'll take care of it for you.

Free postage in the UK - and very cheap international shipping.
