Glas :: Aran weight

£20.00

100g skein / 160 metres/ 174 yards approx.

Introducing Glas.  Glas is the Gaelic word for grey.  This base is a blend of all British fibre; 75% Blue faced Leicester and 25% Masham giving a pale grey colour in its natural state.  It is is joy to dye as with this darker base all the dyed shades have a real depth to them.  It is squishy and sleek and a plumpy aran weight ideal for quicker and cosy knits.

✨so delighted to release these into the world.
✨designed by the ever talented Heike from @madewithloops this rhythmical pattern flows along beautifully with increases and decreases. Just enough to focus the mind but not too much to need concentration or stress.
✨there are two styles of patterns to choose from.. crochet or knitted. I enjoyed making both and seeing how the same effect could be created using wool and different shapes sticks!
✨there are two colour ways to choose from:
✨’Glow’ using meadowsweet and madder plants to give a bright and cheery yellow and red.
✨’Frost’ here the yarn is dyed with indigo for deep and medium blues 💙
✨all made with our brand new yarn base Anam.. a squishy, woolly dk yarn 😘✨🧶

✨introducing ‘Anam’ our new dk yarn base.
✨Anam is Gaelic for soul and life’s breath and is a celebration of the life Simo and I have made together! Yes it is that cheesy!!!
✨it is 70% merino (representing Simo who is Australian) and 30 % Scottish Shetland fibre ( representing me!) 
It’s smooth and buttery but warm and woolly! We couldn’t be more delighted with it. Spun by our usual mill in England it is a wonderful yarn to work with and we hope you enjoy it.
✨Anam will be making its debut in the mindfulness cowl kits designed for us by @madewithloops and released tomorrow 😊
