Another beauty from Eden Cottage yarns. We have a new colour this Winter; Dusk (it's beautiful!)These are not hand-dyed like all of the other Eden Cottage Yarns that we stock, but they have achieved a very similar palette that is so distinct to Eden Cottage!This yarn is so light to wear, and yet lovely and warm and hardwearing, with gorgeous, rich depth of colour and a beautiful sheen from the silk. It's great for a really wide range of projects, and being machine washable makes it a bit more practical. Loop stocks all 20 colours!
