The Colour

Earthy, rich and warm, we can’t wait to see this colour knitted up. Just on the cusp of being a bright orange, this shade can be toned up or down depending how you pair it. This is a friendly and confident colour, making us think of the earth warmed by the evening sun, full of promise and potential.

*Please note the knitted swatch is 'Clay' in our Merino Single and Kid Mohair Silk bases, it is for colour reference only

The Base

Wensleydale is a rare species of longhair British sheep and its wool is only sourced in small batches from local farmers. 

It has more lustre than normal wool and pairs brilliantly with Kid Mohair Silk for the extra softness, which is exactly what we’ve done to create our magnificent Wensleyhaze base. Great stitch definition for more rustic knitting projects.
