Using a blend of premium British Sheep Breeds which have been sourced from the very finest flocks, and treated with absolute care and attention, this yarn is ideal for both garments and accessories. The Bluefaced Leicester adds softness and the Masham adds durability. The softness of the BFL combined with the slightly toothier Masham creates a very soft and hard-wearing yarn.
This yarn has a very low carbon footprint, and the process to take it from fleece to finished yarn is all within 50 miles.
We love this yarn as it pairs perfectly with the WYS Bluefaced Leicester DK that we also stock – you can use both yarns in one colour work/stripe project and they will work beautifully together.
