This is a smooth, round yarn with a soft handle that plumps up with washing. It takes dye readily.
Bluefaced Leicester is a native British sheep breed. Its fleece has a subtle lustre, unique to the breed, which adds an exceptional depth of colour to our hand-dyed shades. Its long staple length makes it hard-wearing, and being a superwash yarn, it’s easy to care for too.
