A hand painted blend of 85% Falklands Islands Polwarth and Corriedale fleeces plus 15% silk.  It’s a standard 400m/100g 4-ply on a grey/fawn base, so no pale or pastel shades possible from this, but it does give wonderful effects to slightly darker colourways. 

The Polwarth breed has a lot of Merino in its ancestry and this is clear from the soft, plump feel of the yarn.  There is also a little sheen from the silk and the smooth construction should give good stitch definition for lace or textured designs.
