BLUEBELLA 80/20: Approximately 115g/425 yards 80/20 superwash Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) wool and silk. This is fingering weight yarn, three plies.
This listing is for four hanks, one each of Verdigris, Rusty Bucket, Grunge Smudfe and Koi Toy.
This BFL is not "smooshy" like Merino. It is a bit rustic, hard-wearing, tends not to pill and softens greatly over time, which makes it ideal for socks (though I like it for just about anything). 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, I recommend hand washing and drying flat to maintain optimum colour and texture.
