100% untreated bluefaced leicester wool

Accessories are the name of the game for this yarn. Hats, mitts, scarves are all ideally suited to this yarn. The untreated BFL is perfect because winter wear will cause very light fulling which makes for a wind resistant accessories.

Named for Bayfield Inlet, Bayfield is our line of Bluefaced Leicester yarns and rovings. Popular with cottagers, fishermen and paddlers, the Bayfield yarns are like the inlet, rugged, unique and worth the trip. Because these these yarns are untreated (with the exception of Bayfield Sock), they retain their natural bounce and resilience and the qualities that makes wool a special fibre. These yarns make for wonderful sweaters and accessories that retain their shape throughout wearing. With a natural shine and cream color, this yarn adds depth and tonality to gorgeous GBFibre Co. colourways.
