BLUEBELLA 80/20: Approximately 115g/425 yards 80/20 superwash Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) wool and silk. This is fingering weight yarn, three plies.
These were kettle-dyed a tonal gold then washed with rust, orange, tawny brown and dark brown, all with a little bit of hazy speckling of orange and brown. They are somewhat mottled and colours range from brown to cinnamon to orange. The yarn pictured is a different base but reasonably depicts the colourway.
This BFL is not "smooshy" like Merino. It is a bit rustic, hard-wearing, tends not to pill and softens greatly over time. Blended with silk, it's dense, shiny, crisp and absolutely lovely! Try a lace project with it and you'll be thrilled with the results.
While this is superwash treated it’s a luxury base, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
