We had a lot of fun collaborating with Third Vault Yarns for this year’s Open Day Special yarn!
Third Vault Yarns are inspired by fantasy and sci-fi. When deciding on what theme to go with, Lola listed numerous fantasy series, all of which I haven’t read! We finally realised that we both enjoyed Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, and love the original cover art from the books.
We dyed two different yarn bases:
50% Corriedale 50% Mohair – this yarn has all the lustre and drape you’d expect from its constituent fibres and that beautiful fuzzy halo too.
100% Cormo wool – a bouncy 4 ply / fingering weight that is soft and smooth. This is the one used in the swatches.
Both yarns are 400m per 100g skein.

Great colour mix, lovely bases. Glad this escaped the TP intellectual property police!
