Discover the Luxury of Blue Faced Leicester Yarn
Hailing from Leicestershire in the English Midlands, Blue Faced Leicester (BFL) wool is renowned for its unique and exquisite qualities. The sheep's face appears to have a blue tint due to the dark skin beneath their short white hair, giving this breed its distinctive name.
Why You'll Love BFL Yarn:
- 100% BFL Wool: Spun with a traditional "Shetland twist," this yarn is crafted from pure Blue Faced Leicester wool.
- Superior Hand-Knitting Yarn: Known for its soft and lustrous texture, BFL yarn is perfect for creating luxurious, hard-wearing garments like sweaters and outerwear.
- Strength and Softness: BFL wool is not only durable but also incredibly soft to the touch, offering the best of both worlds.
- Excellent Drape: The unique curled (not crimped) fiber of BFL wool provides exceptional drape, making it ideal for projects that require fluidity and movement.
Experience the unparalleled quality of Blue Faced Leicester yarn and elevate your knitting projects with its superb softness, strength, and drape.
