The Colour

Conjuring the air of a spring day slowly turning to dusk. Lanterns hang from trees casting soft shadows among the leaves. Cheerful voices carry through the air as food is shared and the lengthening days are celebrated. The air is cooling but the twinkling lights and cosy festivities are too inviting for you to think of leaving yet.

Lanterns is a sweet, romantic colour full of intriguing greens, mauve’s and speckles of rich orange.

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.
