Inspired by everyday life, architecture, paintings, music and Petra's current mood, the Black Elephant palette is just stunning! Ranging from the deepest rich shades to soft soothing hues - Petra's sense of colour is amazing!
Dyed in the Black Elephant studio in Sheffield, the production is environmentally conscious and they aim towards a zero waste production. Wensleydale is a sock / 4ply weight 100% British pure wool, strong and hardwearing with a high twist, still the long staple length gives a wonderful lustre and silkiness to the touch.
With a glorious colour palette of semi-solids they are ideal for creating perfect fades and colour combinations for small and large projects alike. The possibilities are endless.

this is the third time I knit with this rather fine yarn. I even knit a fair isle yoke with it and my daughter walked out with it as soon as it was finished. It achieves a very light garment really nice for in between seasons. I love it.
