Knit by Numbers is our glorious 50% Bluefaced Leicester / 50% Merino blend, available in all its rainbow glory with over 100 shades for you to choose from.

We are passionate about trying to use as much UK-grown fibre as possible (both to lower transport emissions and support our local wool-growing industry) and adding 50% Bluefaced Leicester to sumptuous Falklands Merino in our Knit by Numbers yarn is certainly helping us achieve that. Bluefaced Leicester is the absolute softest of British breeds and has lots of lustre and drape while Merino is scrumptiously soft – the perfect blend to wear next to the skin.

The 4ply version of Knit by Numbers is incredibly versatile – you can knit everything from baby garments to cosy accessories and lightweight, woolly sweaters with it.

The innovative colour palette aims to provide the precise shade required for your project. Each colour range is available in 6 shades – going from dark to light, and each colour is given a unique number reference, rather than a name, hence the range being called Knit by Numbers, inspired by the much-loved paint-by-numbers kits of our childhoods.
