This yarn is named after a line in the well known hymn 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' which was written at Markree Castle. I was getting withdrawal symptoms as I had no fiber ready to spin and so had a dig around in my fiber stash and came out with these colours. The fibers are a mixture of long and short staple pure Wensleydale and a little Wensleydale X Suffolk. I carded them individually first and then mixed them once on my drum carder and this just mixed the colours rather than blending them. The yarn has a lot of texture, thick and thin bits, slubs and curls giving it lots of character. I ended up with 4 hanks all weighing around 100 grams which I then listed on Etsy
