Beneath the velvet sky, where shadows weave through heather and stone, the midnight moor whispers ancient tales. Dark blues blend with the murmur of wind, greys and browns echo the quiet strength of the earth. Here, nightfall lingers, wrapping the world in a cloak of deep, endless mystery.
Discover Woollen Wytch's new Yarn base featuring hand dyed BFL for maximum softness, strength, and warmth.
Experience superior comfort and warmth with these luxurious double knit yarns made from 100% hand-dyed British wool (Blue Faced Leicester). The soft and airy fibres make the perfect socks that will hug your feet giving you that cosy feeling all day long.
Fine enough to be comfortable against your skin yet durable and long wearing, Blued Faced Leicester is one of my favourite British wools to work with. Use it to make soft and durable sweaters, socks, mittens and hats, as well as nicely draping woven fabrics for clothing.
With softness comparable to Merino, BFL is stronger and more durable- making it less likely to break or pill.
100% British Yarn
Unlike most yarns suppliers, I have worked hard to ensure my BFL yarn is 100% British- both produced, sourced, and spun in the UK. Most popular Indie yarn dyer wholesalers in the UK send their British wool overseas, across the globe to be spun- adding a huge carbon footprint, and adding the unknown ethical and socio-economic implications of cheap labour costs of developing and middle-income countries.
Woollen Wytch is proud to hand dyed 100% British yarns and fibre.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Why do you use British wool instead of stocking merino?
At Woollen Wytch, we’re proud to support British farmers by using 100% British-grown wool.
This not only reduces the carbon footprint of our yarn but also celebrates the incredible variety and quality of wool produced right here in the UK.
While merino is popular, it’s often sourced from South America or Australia, which comes with significant environmental costs.
By choosing British wool, we’re championing sustainability, local agriculture, and heritage breeds. 🌍🐑
How is hand-dyed yarn packaged for shipping?
At Woollen Wytch, we prioritize sustainability in our packaging.
Your hand-dyed yarn is carefully wrapped to protect it during transit, using eco-friendly materials like recyclable paper and compostable mailers.
We avoid using plastic whenever possible, so your yarn arrives beautifully presented and planet-friendly! 🌍✨
Why does my skein of hand-dyed yarn look different from the photos online?
Each skein of hand-dyed yarn is a unique work of art, dyed in small batches that can result in slight variations.
Lighting and screen settings may also affect how colours appear.
These subtle differences are part of the charm and individuality of hand dyed yarns.
Will the colours in hand-dyed yarn bleed or fade?
Hand-dyed yarns are carefully dyed using professional-grade acid dyes and set with citric acid to lock in the colours.
While minimal bleeding can sometimes occur during the first wash, proper care—such as washing in cool water with a gentle detergent—will keep your yarn vibrant for years to come.
