Dynamite DK Minis – British BFL wool hand-dyed yarn 20g miniskeins – ‘Barbican’
Shade: Barbican – semi-solid mid-dark neutral grey, slightly mottled
Nestled against the City of London’s original Roman walls, the Barbican Estate arose from 40 acres of WWII bomb devastation. Its foreboding scale and Brutalist exterior enclose a leafy central waterscape, while curved concrete forms and tactile surfaces envelop its inhabitants and visitors. Our collection of neutral greys is inspired by London’s modern architectural icons.

Bluefaced Leicester ('BFL') is a native British sheep breed beloved for its softness, and our yarns are made from the finest fleece that the sheep produces. It has a subtle lustre unique to the breed that gives our hand-dyed colours an incredible depth. Bluefaced Leicester fleece has an unusually long staple length (up to 15 cm/6"), which delivers superb wear and resistance to pilling in finished garments. Being a superwash yarn, it's easy to care for, too!
