It's the perfect blend of purples and greens, making it ideal for knitting that unique scarab beetle inspired piece you've been dreaming of. With its soft-to-the-touch fibres, it's sure to make an impression that whispers with creativity! So go ahead - let your imagination (and needles!) run wild.
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.
