Blue Faced Leicester 8 Ply
This 8ply (or DK) weight yarn is made with 100% super wash treated Blue Faced Leicester merino wool. This fibre will not felt as easily as the non super wash treated yarns, making it perfect for use in projects such as sweaters or cardigans. Each skein is 100g (3.5oz) , with approximately 225m (246y). 22 stitches = 10 cm when using 4mm needles.
This yarn has a more rustic feel compared to Merino, because Blue Faced Leicester fibres are curly and a little thicker, whereas Merino is crimped and finer. However, it can still be worn over clothes, and the stitch definition is absolute perfection for cables and complex patterns. You’ll be so warm and cosy, you’ll be glad to have tried this fibre.
PLEASE NOTE: all colourways are dyed to order, so there is a minimum 2-3 week delay between ordering and receiving your yarn.
