Harvest Hues Tops are a blend of local Devon farmed Zwartbles with organically farmed Falklands Merino. The Zwartbles sheep is naturally dark brown and when blended with our pre-dyed Merino colours transforms into deep, mottled shades reminiscent of Exmoor where we live. When preparing these tops we comb the fibres in one direction, accentuating a blend’s softness, shine and strength. The elegant Merino and bouncy Zwartbles complement each other perfectly, giving the tops and yarn a delicate woolly halo and full-bodied texture.
