100% Wool - Bluefaced Leicester (BFL)
plied

100% bluefaced leicester wool, hand dyed in my Edmonton studio. Edmonton’s hard water gives the colour just the slightest of variation throughout, adding dimension to whatever stitch pattern you choose. The wool has a gentle lustre, without much natural stretch.

The rich, warm green and copper tones of the first color were something of an experiment, and I was so delighted with the results, I sent a picture to the VIP Facebook group for help with naming it. I loved the suggestions, and chose Thanksgiving in the Vineyard based on their inspiration.
