100% New Zealand Stansborough Grey wool. You can read about this breed here.

It is available in five overdyed colours – Takahe (blue), Kakariki (green), Manuka (pink), Rata (red) and Raupo (brick) – and a natural dark grey called Kokako.

Mithril is Stansborough’s custom-spun yarn especially for the hand-knitting market in 8 ply or DK weight.

The yarn was also available in Royal Lambswool (100% Stansborough Grey lambswool) but this is no longer offered.
