Blarney Spun is so exciting we went all the way to Ireland to photograph it in its natural setting, beside the historic facade of Blarney Castle (not a half a mile from the mill where the yarn is spun), against the green shadowed beauty of the Irish terrain, among the hunting hounds on the country estates. These pictures capture for you the full flavor of Blarney Spun’s rugged, outdoors character.
This robust Irish wool is one of the most important yarns for sports wear Bernat has ever introduced. It has been a favorite of Irish fisherfolk and aristocrats slime for generations because it is so hardy; and because it is water-repellant; therefore, perfect for the out of doors. It knots up into wonderful sweaters, bulky and casual.
Included in this book, also, are sweaters of Bernat Super Morshire and Dundee yarns. In several instances all these yarns are interchangeable.
