    Navvy – Nene 4 Ply 100g

    £22.00
    It was thanks to the dangerous and back-breaking work of the Navvies that the canals were cut and built. This colourway is a nod to our industrial heritage with its brick red and canal-inspired blues and greens. Although quite highly variegated, the colours are light and will allow textured patterns to shine through while lending visual interest to simple ones. The gentle colours blend beautifully in the finished project.
