Who could forget that wonderful fabric created by Stansborough Fibres for those magical elven cloaks in The Lord of the Rings? The same folks created Gandalf’s silver scarf for The Hobbit movies.

A fascinating (and quite technical) article in Knitting Daily, sourced from The Wheel magazine, sheds some light on how the yarn for the films was created. Read the article here - thanks to ringerspy String for the heads up!
