Inspired by England’s wild and beautiful northwest coast

Vast lakes, gentle hills, grazing sheep – the landscape of England’s Lake District is woven into every strand of this exceptional yarn. Cumbria Fingering captures everything we love about British wool: character, depth, and natural beauty – with just a touch of luxury.

Spun from the finest Merino wool for softness, English Masham wool for that signature heathered look, and Argentinian mohair for strength and sheen, this yarn is both soft and durable. The fabric it creates is beautifully even, full of structure, and has a delicate luster that makes every project shine.

Whether for sweaters, cardigans, or shawls – Cumbria Fingering gives your knits a timeless, classic look with a modern twist. It drapes gracefully, feels wonderful against the skin, and still keeps that authentic woolly touch – just as natural fiber should.

Available in 20 stunning colors – from soft, elegant neutrals to rich, saturated tones inspired by the English countryside.

A yarn for those who cherish authenticity and quality – made for timeless pieces that will stay with you for years to come.

Why do you offer only a small selection of yarn?
I carefully choose every yarn so it perfectly suits my designs and feels wonderful to knit. Quality always comes before quantity – so you can be sure every fiber is just right.

Are the yarns sustainable?
Absolutely! Sustainability is really important to me. I only work with producers who care about fair working conditions and eco-friendly materials, so you can knit with a good conscience.

How do I find the right yarn for my project?
All my patterns and kits clearly state which yarn works best. And if you’re unsure, I’m always happy to give advice – I want you to enjoy your project from start to finish.

Can I buy the yarn separately?
Of course! Some of the yarns are available in the shop so you can create your project exactly the way you imagine it.
