Pick your favourite shades of our upcoming new yarn and tops range ‘Seafarer’ with a handmade Shade Card!
With Seafarer, we set out to create a yarn with superb depth of tone and shine, reminiscent of sunlight glistening on breaking waves. We’ve achieved this by blending trusty, durable Devonian wool with luxurious Silk, creating a range equally suited to ethereal accessories and hardwearing garments.
We all know how tricky it can be to pick the right colour for your project from your computer or phone screen. So this handy shade card will allow you to view all the colours of our new Seafarer range and get a proper feel for the texture, all in the comfort of your home. Each card contains a small sample of each available colour in the range. We can just imagine our shade cards proudly displayed on bookshelves and brightening up a crafting area – it’s not just us who love collecting shade cards, right?
There’s nothing quite like a shade card to really understand the feel of a yarn and the rainbow of shades that make up its delicious palette. Our new and improved shade cards use recycled materials, are printed locally, and are made by our mill folk, alongside the help of a rather fancy new machine who we have aptly named Sade (pronounced ‘Sha-day’)!
Seafarer – our new yarn and tops range, coming in Autumn 2025
Seafarers of days gone by needed garments which would stand up to the elements and this blend does not disappoint. Anything you create will look opulent but also be tough enough to ensure long-lasting survival of your woollens – even socks! Like all our yarns, Seafarer is worsted spun at our mill –accentuating the blend’s handle, lustre and strength. We’ve enhanced these qualities further by spinning Seafarer as a four-fold yarn, strong enough for socks and that pops brilliantly with a dash of texture or lace.
