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 a mottled tonal lime/chartreuse/avocado and speckled with yellow, gold, green, orange, teal, fuchsia-purple and hot pink. The hanks are not twisted prior to speckling so coverage is more random. They are highly variegated and should be alternated if more than one is used. This is an especially “fresh” batch with lots of colour! These more randomly dyed colourways vary from batch to batch and from hank to hank within a batch.
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.
