Eco-warrior Sock - Plum Crumble - Bluefaced Leicester/Tencel 100g/400m

Plum Crumble is one of my favourite colourways - comforting and warming, it's a semi-solid golden brown with tones of plum and gold.

70% Bluefaced Leicester/30% Tencel

Each skein is 100g/400m

I love a good sock yarn, and Eco-warrior Sock is a corker - even better, it's environmentally sound, and the wool is sourced and spun in the UK. This is a blend of strong, soft British Bluefaced Leicester and Tencel. Tencel is a cellulose fibre produced using a closed-loop system, which means that all the materials used in the manufacturing process are repeatedly recycled, minimising waste and pollution.

The addition of Tencel makes this yarn extremely strong.  It's perfect for socks, which take a lot of punishment, but it also makes a fantastic warp (and weft) yarn. It has a lovely sheen and drape which work beautifully in woven items.
