Excelana is a high quality 100% British yarn spun from a blend of Cheviot and Bluefaced Leicester fibres.

A true Artisan yarn, it is grown, sheared, spun and finished in Britain. It is a soft yet strong, worsted spun available in 50g skeins. The yarn is particularly well-suited to colour work, lace and cables as well as stocking stitch patterns.

This fingering weight yarn is available in a choice of over 30 shades all hand-dyed at my Lake District wool studio.
