Tour De Fleece Special – Cavendish

Epic highs, massive challenges, team spirit with a dash of competition… The Tour de Fleece has more than a few things in common with it’s cycling namesake, and this year, we’re here for the ride! If you’ve never taken part in the Tour de Fleece before, it’s a splendid online spinning event, that follows alongside the Tour de France. As the organisers of this fibre-filled adventure say, there are only three rules in the Tour de Fleece, 1 – Challenge Yourself. 2 – Spin. 3 – Have fun! If only every sporting event could involve the fibre arts, eh?! Tour de Fleece is kicking off July 5th, and if you want to find out more, here’s the link to the Ravelry page, and there you’ll find the info you need to take part – no lycra involved!

If you are keen to get in the saddle and spin along with those spandex-clad athletes, then we have created three special tops, all inspired by legends of British Cycling. Here we have ‘Cavendish’, a beautiful and warm orange, with tones of brown and yellow and just a hint of green to complete the mix.

Exmoor Blueface, and Bluefaced Leicester combine to make a soft, but characterful blend, perfectly bouncy and just the ticket for cables or deliciously textured knits and crochet projects. The addition of Romney adds lustre. We just love this blend and can’t wait to spin with it!

Composition: 50% Exmoor Blueface / 30% Blueface Leicester / 20% Romney
