NOTE: these skeins are currently hand dyed and will have the unique characteristics of this technique. Please note that the handle on the non-superwash handdyed is different from the commercial dyed. This is a natural result from handling when handdyeing.

Northiam is a worsted-spun yarn sourced, scoured, spun and dyed exclusively for me from the finest Bluefaced Leicester at a British mill used by fashion giants such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Paul Smith.

This yarn is suitably luxurious, velvety against bare skin with long, semi-lustrous fibres that have a natural drape, holding a block beautifully. Spun with a rounded ply it has excellent stitch definition for cables, lace and other textures while creating beautifully balanced stockinette.The softest non-superwash Bluefaced Leicester you will ever feel, Northiam is low pilling with long-staple fibres that are excellent for both durable items and delicate lace.
