I've chosen a skeins I feel pair with this yarn nicely: 1. the undyed Baskerville Dark, Nebulous. 2. Islington Pink Panther 3. Beyul Orchid 4. Islington Squirrelly 5. Baskerville Saffron 6. Beyul Black Quartz As every skein of speckle yarn is unique and your skein will be chosen specifically to match the contrast yarn included your order.
Hailing from the mysterious West Country moors Baskerville is lovingly spun in small batches exclusively for Kettle Yarn Co. Baskerville Dark inverts the grey British Gotland and light, fluffy Exmoor Blueface of the original blend, creating a darker, denser version of Baskerville with the same subtle silk glimmer. Slightly more rustic and less lofty than the original Baskerville this blend plays up Gotland's unique velvet handle.
A gentle 2-ply yarn, Baskerville is spun worsted, twisted lightly, to create the airy thick-and-thin character of traditional handspun with combed fibres for strength and softness. A truly exceptional heirloom quality yarn, it is simple to keep your Baskerville items looking new for many years to come as any tiny pills can easily be removed without damage to other fibres.
Reviewed in Knitter's Review by Clara Parkes: |
‘The fibers have been combed for smoothness and cohesion, but the yarn still had a pleasant degree of stickiness and “grab” to it. The two plies stayed together, never snagging or untwisting. I moved from a scrumptious garter-stitch to a perky three-dimensional feather and fan before settling on smooth stockinette. Each stitch was a pleasure.’ |
