Wensleyhaze - Chalk

The Colour

Formed by the earth and traditionally used in everything from constructing houses to art, Chalk stone inspired this colour and both share subtle nuances within. Elegant and soft, this shade shifts and changes with the light, so you’re never quite sure - is it pink, purple, beige or something else entirely? A truly unique colour.

The Base

Wensleydale is a rare species of longhair British sheep and its wool is only sourced in small batches from local farmers. 

It has more lustre than normal wool and pairs brilliantly with Kid Mohair Silk for the extra softness, which is exactly what we’ve done to create our magnificent Wensleyhaze base. Great stitch definition for more rustic knitting projects.
