Origin 004 brings the marled Bluefaced Leicester and Masham blend down to a fine 4 ply, where the effect turns subtle - a soft heathering rather than a bold twist, closer to a tweed than a marl. At 400m to 100g it is the longest-yardage base in the collection, which makes it exceptional value for shawls and larger fine-gauge pieces. Dyed, the natural brown fibre mutes the colour just enough to give it age and depth.
Perfect for shawls, fine-gauge jumpers, tanks and colourwork. If you dye your own and want a base that produces sophisticated, slightly dusty colours rather than bright clear ones, this is the one to reach for.
