The Fibre Company have developed the Cumbria Fingering yarn with is the same lustrous blend of brown wool from the English breed of masham sheep, fine merino wool and mohair, as for Cumbria yarn.
The resulting light brown-grey shade is then over-dyed creating lovely deep saturated colours. The cream shade uses natural ecru masham. Cumbria Fingering is a well wearing yarn, perfect for garments and accessories alike
Note - the colours may appear slightly differently than they actually are (due to differences in computer monitors).
