Excelana North Fingering weight - Happy Accident - French Rose Variegated
£9.00£12.00
At Susan Crawford Vintage, we hand-dye all our yarns at our Lake District studio, using our unique, personally developed recipes, to create our beautiful colour palettes. Occasionally, the unexpected occurs resulting in truly unique creations we affectionately call "Happy Accidents."
These special skeins may be in colours that fall outside our usual palettes, or they might display captivating variations in tone or variegation. Each "Happy Accident" is one (or several)-of-a-kind, a testament to the unpredictable and beautiful nature of hand-dyeing.
These unique treasures are all significantly reduced compared to yarns in our colour palettes! Remember "Happy Accidents" are limited edition, and unrepeatable.
Please note: Due to the nature of these skeins, "Happy Accidents" are not eligible for return or refund.

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 French Rose Variegated: It is a soft slightly blue pink with subtle variegation - faded french roses drying in the sun. Available as 50g skeins only.
Care Instructions
Handwash in cool water using a gentle wool wash and dry flat. For best results, always soak your completed project and watch the wool bloom!
