Description
England’s stunning north-western landscape with its deep blue lakes and sheep-grazed fells inspired this fingering-weight yarn made from fine Merino for softness, wool from the English Masham sheep for a beautiful heathered color and Argentinian mohair for strength and lustre. Fabrics made from Cumbria are soft yet strong, making it a perfect yarn for everyday knitwear.
“This yarn mixes soft Merino with Masham wool, which brings a lovely heathered tone, and Argentinian mohair adds strength. The fabric has a wonderful drape and softness, while retaining a pleasing woolly feel. Choose Cumbria for light sweaters and shawls in textured patterns and colourwork. The 20 shades range from elegant neutrals to saturated brights.” – The Knitter, Issue 195

It's beautiful yarn with great stitch definition.
This is such a lovely yarn and the colors, especially in this one, Fair Hills, are incredible. So well thought out and so absolutely like Mother Nature herself. So subtle. And so warm. This pattern features the same cable work up the back. I'm looking forward to many years of loving this one!
Cumbria Fingering is a great yarn. The color I ordered is gorgeous. I didnt start knitting it yet.
I love both weights of Cumbria and am devastated that it will no longer be available.
good yarn!
