England’s stunning north-western landscape with its deep blue lakes and sheep-grazed fells inspired this fingering-weight yarn made from fine Merino for softness, wool from the English Masham sheep for a beautiful heathered color and Argentinian mohair for strength and lustre. Fabrics made from Cumbria are soft yet strong, making it a perfect yarn for everyday knitwear.
“This yarn mixes soft Merino with Masham wool, which brings a lovely heathered tone, and Argentinian mohair adds strength. The fabric has a wonderful drape and softness, while retaining a pleasing woolly feel. Choose Cumbria for light sweaters and shawls in textured patterns and colourwork. The 20 shades range from elegant neutrals to saturated brights.” – The Knitter, Issue 195
