Perfect, if you’d like to show off Fair Isle pattern or any other contrasting color, such as white. on our own pictures and even on this picture from RiverKnits, – the color shows as more blue, whenever, it is turquiose with more greenish tinge to it than comes on the pictures.

Aysgarth is 100% lustrous British Wensleydale wool. Its appearance is similar to the shine and the halo of mohair and it feels like a warm woolly hug. Seriously, you wont be able to stop stroking this yarn! It comes from sheep who have amazing long curly locks and it is a hand dyers favourite for its colour uptake. The yarn is worsted spun and plied, and has a draping handle, making it ideal for statement pieces. Remember to always block your projects for the best outcome.
