Cumbria Fingering by The Fibre Co.
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 colour and Argentinian mohair for strength and lustre.
Fabrics knit from Cumbria Fingering are perfect for lighter weight garments and accessories alike.
