Yarn Notes Yarn Specs The Brand REOTHART (DK)"SPRING TIDES"A yarn born of invention by bringing together a natural pairing of Cheviot and Zwartbles wool to create a magical strand that shifts from light to dark matching the extremes of depth brought by the spring tide. Fleeces are sourced locally from small communities in the stunning Outer Hebrides - an archilegago of islands flanking the Atlantic Ocean.Cheviot makes this yarn hardwearing, bouncy and resilient for a garment or accessory that will last you a very long time. Zwartbles fleece is dense and bouncy and known for it's natural deep, dark brown colour. These gorgeous 50g hanks have been spun to produce skeins of variegated yarn which move easily from light to dark. This yarn hasn’t been superwash-treated, so it will felt if you want it to, and it will make excellent candidate for steeking, if you’re brave enough!
