Silky BFL blends British wool from the breed of Buefaced Leicester sheep and silk. A wonderful drape and a subtle shine that makes this yarn really beautiful and special.

We dye the skeins by hand with natural dyes, following dyeing techniques with a very low environmental impact.

Natural colors have a natural, genuine beauty. Any plant from which we extract the dye contains more than a single pigment, so the dyeing process is simply magical; sometimes the resulting color pulls more towards one tone, others towards another, depending on the concentration of pigment that the plant or the color source presents. Replicating the color is basically impossible.

Each skein is unique. We recommend you to buy enough yarn to complete your project and alternate the skeins every few round if you want to achieve a more uniform color effect.
