Taxal Skies - Bluefaced Leicester Sock

The colour of the brooding heavy rain clouds that hang above Whaley Bridge in the Peak District.  I wanted to knit them, this is why I started to dye yarn.

Strong 4ply fingering weight yarn perfect for knitting socks and light weight shawls.

I just love the Hello Sailor Sock Set by Summer Lee Knits for this yarn, patterns inspired by coastal knitting.

Also perfectly matched with mohair too, why not knit the Holey Chevrons by West Knits using a strand of sock and a strand of mohair, or hold both together to knit a simple Sophie Scarf?
