River Severn - Katahdin 437

This rich teal blue, created especially for the 2019 Book Club, was inspired by the color of the river Severn and the deep blues traditionally associated with medieval art. Our Book Club read the book A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters.

Katahdin 437

A lighter fingering weight than our Yummy 2-Ply, Katahdin 437 (formerly known as Northumbria Fingering - it is exactly the same yarn) is spun from the long, lustrous wool of Bluefaced Leicester sheep. BFL is a perfect canvas for Babs’ colors, giving the yarn a rich depth and slightly glossy finish. It's great for durable, fine-gauge socks, and lovely in crisp lacy shawlettes.
