Cessna is a lovely mill-spun yarn made from Blue Faced Leicester wool. This wool is strong but fine, so it is next to your skin soft. The fabric that you make with it can have a nice drape. It is a great yarn for scarves, shawls, sweaters and hats.

Because it is mill spun, you can knit intricate patterns with nice stitch definition or you can let the beautiful colors do all the work as you knit simple stitches. Each skein is enough for a hat, cowl or narrow scarf. This yarn will show others your discerning taste for quality and creativity.

Note: There are 2 put-ups for this yarn. 200 is the older yarn, 260 is the newer put-up. Please adjust yardage and skein weight on individual stash entries. This is all the same base yarn.
