British Blue Fingering Weight Wool
by Erika Knight
British Blue Wool is made from 100% Bluefaced Leicester fleece - supremely soft, subtly sheeny, this is Britain's most luxurious fiber. It is the ultimate natural fiber, perfect for projects for either baby or lightweight garments, keeping skin comfortable all through the year, whatever the weather. A selected palette of pastels and bright 'pops' that work together - even with your eyes closed you can be sure of a successful color project.
This is the finer version of British Blue Wool. The wool of the Bluefaced Leicester breed is supremely soft due to the long staple fibers, which are worsted spun to create a fine, lightweight yarn that is low pilling and hard wearing. Known for its luster, this wool has a subtle sheen for excellent stitch definition due to its densely curled fleece and takes dye extremely well for a vibrant, shimmering effect. The raw wool of course is sourced in Great Britain. It is dyed and spun in our favourite mill in Turkey.
