Origin 012 completes the Gotland trio at Aran weight. The natural silvery grey of the undyed Gotland reads strongly at this thickness, giving a yarn that looks like weathered stone straight off the hank. Dyed, it produces the deep, muted, slightly smoky tones that a white base simply cannot reach. The Bluefaced Leicester content keeps the handle soft despite the weight.
Perfect for cabled jumpers, structured cardigans, hats and blankets. The gentle halo from the Gotland softens the edges of cables slightly, giving texture a slightly antique, hand-spun character rather than a hard machine-crisp definition.
