Cruel Summer – Polwarth/Shetland/Silk

50% Polwarth/25% Shetland/25% Natural tussah silk

This blend is an absolute delight to work with. It’s so poofy, so soft and so textured. It will produce an exquisitely characterful yarn – soft as butter from the Polwarth, strong and warm from the Shetland, and luxurious from the silk.  It has bags of elasticity, and is perfect for next to skin garments, like scarves, gloves and sweaters.

Colour & Inspiration

Cruel Summer is a gorgeous mix of olive, tangerine, sky blue and gold – the saturated colours of a long, hot summer, where the grass dries out and the skies are burnished. It’s bright and fun.
