We’re delighted to welcome a brand new yarn from the Fibre Company: meet Cumbria Fingering.<\/p>\n

Like its big sister, Cumbria Worsted<\/a>, Cumbria Fingering is a\u00a0soft and sturdy blend of 60% merino wool, 30% masham wool, and 10% mohair. The soft white merino is blended with the dark gray masham, creating a natural heathered base color over\u00a0which all the other colorways are dyed. Each 100 gram skein boasts 328 yards, enough for a hat, pair of mitts, or small cowl.<\/p>\n

Cumbria Fingering is designed with longevity in mind, and as such, is constructed with 4 plies tightly twisted around one another. Sweaters and accessories knit in Cumbria Fingering should weather regular use and look great for years to come. This 4-ply construction also gives the yarn a very smooth texture, which suggests sharp stitch definition for cables and texture patterns.<\/p>\n

Though I haven’t knit a stitch with it yet, I’m already daydreaming about a sweater in Cumbria Fingering. Kelbourne Woolens, designers and distributors for Fibre Company yarns, let us know that a small collection of sweater patterns by Bristol Ivy are forthcoming. In the meantime, I’m looking for pattern ideas in all the usual places:\u00a0CoopKnits Toasty Vol. 1<\/a><\/em>, Kate Davies’ Yokes<\/a><\/em> and Colors of Shetland<\/em>, Brooklyn Tweed patterns that call for Loft, and our own HYS “Fingering weight”<\/a> board on Pinterest. I can’t wait to get my hands on this stuff!<\/p>\n
