100% Wool - Bluefaced Leicester (BFL)
plied, high twist

A lovely 4ply Superwash British Bluefaced Leicester wool with a high twist. This yarn has been Superwash treated which is a process that prevents the fibres from felting as easily. The treatment is highly regulated, and any by-products are removed before the water is reintroduced to the environment. The resin used in the process will biodegrade along with the wool at the end of the fibre’s life. This yarn does not contain nylon.

The yarn is dyed using natural extracts to produce vibrant colours.

Care should be taken when laundering your garment, use cool/warm water with a PH neutral wash. Many natural dyes are sensitive to varying PH levels and minerals and therefore using a product which is more acidic or alkaline could cause the original colour to shift. Dry garments flat and out of direct sunlight to prevent undue fading.

It is recommended to wash dark colours separately and if using dark and light colours together, it is advised to test a sample prior to use. Yarns are carefully rinsed to remove dyes, however, on occasion a small amount of excess dye could rinse out in the first wash.
