This is a hearty DK yarn that's soft yet sturdy, while being a pure dream to work with. The dyed shades are saturated, with a pleasingly subtle heathered base. The project possibilities are endless with this versatile range. Think bright and breezy accessories or stranded colourwork masterpieces - it's all up for grabs. The natural tones in the range are bursting with potential too - they'll really shine in projects where texture takes centre stage. (We're looking at you, heirloom aran sweaters...) Blue Faced Leicester (BFL) is a breed of sheep that produces a high quality fleece and this is hands down one of the nicest BFL yarns we've ever had the pleasure of stocking.
