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 Sheffield Steel: Sheffield Steel is a strong clear light grey, with cool tones. It contrasts beautifully with the other greys in the palette, Charcoal and Persian Grey and looks great against Siren, Ruby Red or Cornflower Blue.
