    About Excelana North Fingering weight
    100% British wool - 75% Cheviot, 25% Bluefaced Leicester
    159m / 174yds per 50g skein.
    Recommended gauge from 26-28 sts to 10cm (4in) using 3-3.25mm needles.

    Excelana North is a very special blend of Excelana 4 Ply, spun specially for us to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Susan Crawford Vintage supporting British wools. Excelana North Fingering weight has been created to perfectly match the original Excelana 4 Ply. It is worsted spun for a soft handle from 3 plies of this stunning Cheviot and Bluefaced Leicester blend. It works exquisitely for Fair Isle projects as well as textured and lace stitches; responding well to blocking and holding its shape beautifully. Despite its softness, Excelana is a sturdy yarn that doesn't pill easily.

    Excelana North is available in economical 50gm skeins.

    About Excelana North Fingering Weight - Dark as Night: As its name suggests a deep, rich blue evocative of the night sky, and used by Susan to create her Denby hat in the Evolution collection.
