In celebration of her move to England, our founder Daphne developed our Cumbria yarn to be evocative of the mood, light and places that characterize the North West of the United Kingdom.

It is a classic worsted weight yarn in saturated colors inspired by the lakes and hills. Fabrics knit from Cumbria are made for long walks across sheep-grazed fells and valleys or a homebody’s favorite sweater.

In combining wool from English Masham with fine Mohair from Argentina, a strength, luster and warmth is produced that is ideal for handmade staples. These two fibres are blended with a fine South American Merino to give the final yarn the softness and beautiful hand that defines The Fibre Co. yarns.

The resulting light brown-grey shade is then over-dyed to create lovely deep saturated colors. The cream shade (White Heather) and all heathered shades use a natural ecru Masham instead.
