Tour De Fleece Special – Wiggins

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 ‘Wiggins’, a delicious dark teal with flashes of deep blue and with a silvery shimmer of silk!

Corriedale, Exmoor Blueface, and Romney combine to make a deliciously soft blend, but the addition of Devon Closewool adds character and bounce. That stunning 10% silk enhances the colour of the blend beautifully, and creates a softness and sheen that is just unbeatable!

Composition: 49% Corriedale / 16.5% Devon Closewool / 16.5% Romney / 8% Exmoor Blueface / 10% Silk
