This luscious handspun skein is richly hand dyed in shades of blue, teal green, purple and burgundy. Lustrous and silky, this fiber combo is wonderfully soft and would make a beautiful cowl, mitts or a hat!

The Blue Faced Leicester is known for its exceptional fleece. BFL is a long-wool breed whose fleece is in high demand because of its 'next-to-skin' softness and lustrous shine. These qualities produce a soft, squishy yarn with excellent drape. Of the three types of Leicester, the Blue Faced produces the finest fleece at 24-28 microns.

This listing is for ONE skein of Worsted weight yarn, 2024 as shown.

75% Bluefaced Leicester wool
25% Tussah silk

This yarn was spun on my Lendrum ST wheel in a smoke free, pet friendly environment.

This yarn will felt. If that is not your intention, please be sure to handwash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry.

If you would like it in a center pull ball, please let me know during checkout.
