Cumbria is inspired by England’s stunning northwest region, with its deep blue lakes and sheep-grazed fells and valleys. It is a classic worsted weight yarn from a blend of fine Merino, wool from the English Masham sheep breed, and Argentinian mohair. The Merino adds softness, the Masham allows for a beautiful heathered palette and the mohair creates strength and luster.
Fabrics knit with Cumbria are soft yet strong, making it a perfect yarn for everyday knitwear. Many of the shades in Cumbria use a base with natural brown Masham wool, which when overdyed, allows for beautifully deep saturated tones.

About Unwind
We are a luxury yarn boutique where community and craft intertwine. Ours is a creative space for makers who share a love of hand-dyed fibers, quality tools, and the myriad ways that knitting and crochet inspires connection.
I was so happy to see sweater quantities of Cumbria when I visited Unwind a couple of weeks ago. It’s such a lovely yarn & I’m looking forward to find the perfect sweater to knit with it.
I’m so sorry to hear that The Fibre Co. is going out of business. All of their yarns were wonderful.
