4ply 100% Non-Superwash Bluefaced Leicester Wool Yarn 5 x 100g Pack

4ply Sock or Fingering Weight

Non-Superwash 100% British Bluefaced Leicester Lustre Wool

Bluefaced Leicester sheep are native to the UK. Their fibre has a micron count of around 26 and is strong, silky, and lustrous. It’s fine enough to wear next to the skin and durable enough to wear well. The yarn has a soft, natural lustre and is a favourite of hand dyers due to the intensity of colour once dyed.

With its 4 plies, high twist and natural strength, this yarn is suitable for socks when knitted at a tight gauge. A great no nylon sock yarn alternative.
