Merino Wool & Silk Blend: Swallowtail

Inspired by Britain's largest and most spectacular butterfly, Swallowtail Butterfly is one of our exclusive Wingham Wool seasonal blends. Soft creamy yellows are beautifully combined with bold black, vibrant sky blues and warm touches of red-orange, capturing the striking wing patterns of the swallowtail in a beautifully balanced fibre full of contrast and natural elegance. The swallowtail is the UK's largest butterfly and is best known for its distinctive cream, black, blue and red markings.

Our blends are professionally combed in-house to produce a smooth, consistent top that's a pleasure to spin, felt and work with. The carefully selected shades create subtle colour variation throughout your finished yarn, resulting in projects with depth, movement and a naturally marled appearance.
