Description

Color: Blue Bird
The brilliant hues of Blue Bird are found naturally only in the wild’s most flamboyant inhabitants. Bright azure is given depth and only slightly restrained by a softer bright sky blue.

Additional details

With bright colors and subtle tweedy neps, this surprisingly soft yarn brings an exuberant and folksy charm to our selection of tweeds. The Fine Highland fiber has a soft hand with plenty of drape, but retains the solid structure of wool, making this perfect for cabling. Each colorway is created by spinning together a lighter and darker tone of the same color, which knits up into a surprisingly uniform fabric with wonderful depth of color. Neutral Donegal neps bring a distinct visual texture. Donegal is a series of viscose neps (think slubs or bits of lint) that are suspended in a very fine acrylic mesh which allows them to be spun alongside the longer wool. With such rich colors and that signature look of tweed, you have a vibrant and rustic yarn with plenty of charm.

LOVE, LOVE , LOVE this yarn. I just finished a sweater in Winter Walk and it turned out beautiful. Soft, soft yarn. This wool yarn does not itch. I hope you never cancel this yarn. Will buy again.

I just worked a gauge swatch with the candy apple color. It’s so soft and the colors are gorgeous.

Just finished a cardigan with this yarn .I bought the fall colors pumpkin pie and trimmed in coffee ,candy apple and caramel. Every color was deeply saturated an rich! So soft I doubt I will have to block it much! Made this one for my daughter and now I think I will have to make one for me 😆

I bought this yarn planning to make an Aran sweater. Based on the pictures I thought it would be a heavier yarn; it is much thinner than I expected. Many of the tufts stand out from the surface, obscuring the cable pattern. I agree it is deliciously soft, but it turned out not well suited to the plan I had for it.
