Ancient fields under winter light, deep forest green woven with rich sapphire undertones, punctuated by a festive pop of poinsettia red. Inspired by the 14th-century illustration of the shepherds meeting the star in the Holkham Bible (f.13), humble figures turned celebrants as the heavens open. It’s pastoral quiet turned holiday sparkle, a nod to tradition and colour merged for the season.
 
This is perfect if you want to knit up some socks, a sweater or lovely hat.

Each package contains one large skein and festive charms.

Description: The merino gives natural elasticity which is boosted with the nylon so you get great movement and stretch but it will bounce back wonderfully into shape. The merino fibres are not itchy or scratchy on the skin. The yarn is perfect for socks but can equally can be knitted into scarves, shawls, bags, granny squares, tops, or baby garments which will feel soft next to the skin due to the fine merino used. As this is superwash, you can wash your finished product in a washing machine. Recommended not to use water hotter than 30°C.
