The Fibre Company Cumbria Fingering Wool Mohair Knitting Yarn
The Fibre Co. Cumbria Fingering The Fibre Company Cumbria Fingering yarn is inspired by England’s stunning northwest region with its deep blue lakes and sheep-grazed fells and valleys. It is a fingering weight yarn made in Peru from a blend of fine Merino, wool from the English Masham sheep breed and Argentinian mohair. The Merino adds softness, the Masham allows for a beautiful heathered palette and the mohair creates strength and luster. Fabrics knit from Cumbria are perfect for lighter weight garments. Many of the shades in Cumbria use a base with natural brown Masham wool, which when overdyed, allows for beautifully deep saturated tones.
