Our BFL Masham is one of my favourite yarns. Masham sheep are common in Yorkshire and this gorgeous blend was created and spun by one of our local mills.

The natural colour is the soft silvery oatmeal colour in the right (and the colour on the left is coal)

We've added eight new moody shades to the range. These would work beautifully together and they're also ideal for combining with neutral shades. There are 400 meters to each 100 g skein and the yarn should substitute well in most 4ply patterns. We don't recommend this blend for socks - the soft bouncy yarn structure that makes it such a delight for garments and shawls menas it lacks the strength needed for wearing on your feet.

The new BFL Masham colours will be in the shop from 1900 on Thursday 23rd July.
