She is in charge of meeting the big deadline, and the latest in a long line of Ebenezers to run the company.You can see that it’s not a true cable but it looks very effective and I like the way that it breaks the yarn colours up in places. The Horizon line is spun from premium, anti-pilling acrylic of the highest quality. Among other things, this means that the yarn is processed multiple times, reminiscent of how wool yarn is made. The acrylic is combed, making it extra soft and fluffy. In addition, Horizon goes through a Hi-Bulk process where the yarn is steamed during production, making it contract slightly. This results in a pleasant, soft volume. There have been stripy yarns, sparkly yarns, and one where the colours of a Winter’s night sky blended together … oh, the thought that goes into these yarns and the care and attention to keeping this yarny tradition going … it’s no wonder WYS are my favourite yarn company! You can read about last year’s colour here, and the previous years’ colours here.
