Carrying on with the success of the original worsted-weight of Cumbria, we developed this fingering weight version with the same nod to the mood, light and places that characterise the North West of the United Kingdom.

The wool from English Masham is blended with a fine Mohair from Argentina to adds strength, lustre and warmth. 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.

Fabrics knit from Cumbria Fingering are perfect for lighter weight garments and accessories alike.
