This is a very special yarn.

First of all, it’s 100% British Blue Faced Leicester, raised, spun and hand dyed Britain. Secondly, it’s a roving style yarn, slightly thicker than a standard DK yarn, which looks stunning when knitted up. Thirdly, the natural dyes we use simply glow in this yarn which also has the great softness and lustre you’d expect of BFL yarn. All in all, it’s a treat to knit with and to wear.

Roving style yarn, beautifully soft with good lustre
