Please note you will need to use both yarn A & B to create the handles - this kit does not include enough yarn to create tote bigger than the orange sample.

The Bases

Bamboo Linen

Our bamboo linen yarn is a luxurious, plant based yarn with strong and durable qualities whilst maintaining a light fingering weight. It offers excellent breathability and drape while remaining gentle on the skin, making it the perfect choice for a soft and airy knit.

Made up of 30% Linen and 80% Bamboo, each skein 100g and 400m long!

Wensleyhaze

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.

Made up of 80% Wensleydale and 20% Super Kid Mohair, each skein 50g and 200m long!
