Then they added some white Romney fibre from Kent, with a long and lustrous staple, and well-defined crimp, adding a bit of depth and strength to the blend. They knew, from creating their vintage 20 yarn, that adding a small amount of coloured fleece to the white would create a uniquely coloured base. They added just a touch of black Shetland fibre to the white. Rich black Scottish Shetland locks, from the softest part of the Shetland fleece, mixed with the pure white of the Polwarth and Romney created a beautiful, natural, light heathery grey base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat about the colours?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDyed as blended tops, the light grey base has allowed for colour of a special richness in their 8-colour palette.
