Description
Imported from Great Britain, this is the traditional Guernsey yarn that was used for the original Fisherman's Gansey/Guernsey sweaters. So beautiful, with a durable firm twist in a 100% wool 5 ply yarn in 4 colours.
This is the yarn used by the British home front knitters in WWI and WWII to knit warm socks for their aviators.
This is not a super-soft yarn, but your sweater will last for years--and might be passed on to the next generation.
This is best for stitch patterning in a medium to small gauge. Use a small needle for socks. Not a bulky "outdoor" yarn--this one is wonderful for those times when you should really put on a sweater instead of turning up the thermostat! Great used for sweaters and socks--see the Beth Brown-Reinsel patterns for ideas for this yarn.
