Townhouse Yarns, Tara 4ply: Oasis
Townhouse Yarns is Dublin's premier hand dyed yarn studio, drawing inspiration from the vibrant culture of this Irish city, and the 250 year old Powerscourt Townhouse that houses its flagship shop. If you want a special knit that marries tradition with modern design, this yarn is it.
Tara is named after the site of the High Kings of Ireland which is located close to the Townhouse Yarns dye studio, and the name suits this luxurious yarn perfectly. This fingering weight blend combines wool with silk and yak fiber, giving you a luxurious blend that works for socks, lightweight garments and more. The yak fiber lends an earthy color to the fiber in the skein, and the silk gives a sheen and texture that is unmatched.
