The Goldfinch, Carduelis carduelis, is a vibrant British bird known for its striking appearance. It features a red, white, and black head pattern, with a distinctive red face extending behind the eye in males. The back is buff-brown, and the wings are black with bright yellow bars. The tail has white terminal spots. Juveniles lack the red facial markings but retain the yellow wing stripes. Goldfinches are small, measuring about 12 cm in length, with a wingspan of 21-25 cm. Their pointed bill and agile flight make them a common and delightful sight in gardens and open fields.

This is a superwash treated sock weight (fingering, 4ply) yarn spun from 100% Bluefaced Leicester wool. It is suitable for approximately 2-5mm needles.
