Fenella - Jonquil

100% British wool - 75% Exmoor Mule, 25% Bluefaced Leicester, 129 metres/141 yards per 25g skein. Grown, sheared, spun and dyed in Britain.

Fenella is a 2 Ply yarn, worsted spun for a soft handle, and to replicate vintage '3 Ply' yarns of yesteryear. Its colour palette has been carefully created to echo vintage shades from the 1930s-1970s. It works exquisitely for Fair Isle projects as well as textured and lace stitches, blocking and holding its shape beautifully, whilst also possessing a delightful drape..

It is available in economical 25g skeins, perfect for Fair Isle projects.

Fenella is now hand-dyed in-house by Susan and her daughter, Charlie, at their Lake District dye studio, "A Room Of My Own" in a wide range of beautiful, vintage inspired shades. Fenella is a non-superwash yarn and should be washed by hand in cool water with a gentle wool wash.

About Jonquil: Jonquil is a rich mustard-yellow which works beautifully when used on its own, in designs such as Dorothy, but also pairs to perfection with many other shades in the Fenella palette to create stunning Fair Isle designs, such as those in The Vintage Shetland Project.

 

Handwash in lukewarm water using a wool care product.
