Step outside and look up — the Country Birds collection from West Yorkshire Spinners brings the colours of Britain's most beloved birds straight to your needles. Each self-striping colourway is a love letter to the natural world, drawing its palette from the iridescent flash of a Kingfisher, the speckled warmth of a Starling, the earthy tones of an Owl, and the vivid greens of a Green Woodpecker.
Built on the trusted Signature 4ply base — a beautifully balanced blend of Bluefaced Leicester wool and nylon — this yarn is as hardwearing as it is gorgeous. The BFL gives it a natural lustre and silky drape, while the nylon ensures your socks will hold up wash after wash, mile after mile. The self-patterning construction means the colour does all the work, so you can focus on the knitting.
Perfect for socks, of course, but equally lovely for shawls, colourwork accessories, and any project that deserves a little extra character.
