Bluefaced Leicester is a soft and durable yarn with a beautiful sheen. The wool comes from the English sheep breed Bluefaced Leicester, which has one of the longest wool fibers. This makes the yarn very stable with a low risk of pilling. The wool is also very hard-wearing, ensuring that your creations maintain their shape and look new for a long time. * 100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester wool * Recommended needle: 4 mm * Weight: 100 g * Length: 225 m * Machine wash 30° Dry flat (hand wash recommended) The yarn is hand-dyed in very small batches, which means no two skeins are alike.
