  • ‘Cumbria’ is an Alpaca and wool sock yarn.  It is my own blend of 47% British alpaca, 43% Blue Faced Leicester wool and 10% nylon.  This yarn was spun specifically for knitting socks, so it has more twist than most hand knitting yarns and appears skinnier.  It does bloom out when it is washed.

    This really is a local yarn.  I collected the Blue Faced Leicester fleeces from farms in Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales and carefully prepared them at Town End farm.  I combined this with white and coloured British alpaca fleeces which I painstakingly cleaned of hay and other bits.  The fibres have been scoured, carded, combed, dyed and spun in Yorkshire.  Most of the yarn is being knitted into socks by Arbon Socks, but I have plied some for hand-knitters.
