A smooth, silky yarn with the characteristic lustre of Wensleydale. We added some alpaca into this blend to create something really nice. The yarn has a gentle halo from both the alpaca and the Wensleydale. The yarn takes the dye nicely and colours give a watercolour effect, similar to an alpaca yarn. We used a 3.5mm needle and this created a lovely, drapey fabric, which blocks out really nicely. Lace pattern stitches would also work really well in this yarn.
