Titus is a superior quality natural blend of Yorkshire Wool and UK Alpaca with the feel, fluffiness, and slightly lustrous and velvety texture of undyed alpaca. Wensleydales have long, ringlet-like fleece which creates a fine, silky yarn with a soft and fuzzy 'halo'. This superb British Wool is manufactured in natural undyed and solid colours. This yarn is suitable for hand and machine knitting, and gossamer crochet. Expensive.
