Orkney Angora - Bouclé

New from Orkney Angora,  a small family run business situated on the Isle of Sanday, one of the Orkney's most northerly isles. We also stock their incredibly soft Orkney Angora St Magnus DK

This gorgeous bouclé yarn from the Orkney Islands is a perfect mix of cosy and light. Perfect for any project for the colder seasons – soft, warm, and lightweight.
This bouclé yarn is made from the wool of Angora goats and is a luxurously soft yet durable fiber, notable for its luster and shine.
The palette of colours has been created for Loop, and they're lush and saturated. Totally gorgeous!

It is worth noting that due to the dying process, shade variations can occur from dye batch to dye batch. As such if you are planning to use more than one for a particular project, we recommend alternating skeins in order to achieve a more natural gradation. 
We always recommend hand washing in order to prolong the life of your knitwear.
