BLUEBELLE Fingering: Approximately 100g/438 yards superwash Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) wool. This is a fine, strong four-plied fingering/sock weight yarn.
These were kettle-dyed with washes of teal, spruce, green and navy then lightly speckled with chartreuse, teal, green and grey. This is a somewhat variegated colourway so please alternate hanks if using more than one - each hank is slightly different, as is each batch of this colourway. Multiple bases are shown to depict the colourway.
This BFL is soft and just a little plump, with all the known and desired qualities of the fibre: hard-wearing, tends not to pill, appears almost luminescent and continues to soften over time. This spin is airy and slightly crisp, with generous yardage for shawls, accessories and garments.
While this is superwash, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
