Description

4ply Decadence – Undyed: 100gram skeins of undyed 4ply superwash Bluefaced Leicester wool and silk blend yarn.

This yarn feels wonderfully soft against the skin. It makes a beautifully smooth knitted fabric with a soft shine and lovely drape. It will work to any knit or crochet pattern requiring a 4ply-weight yarn.

The Bluefaced Leicester is a longwool breed of sheep which originated from Northumberland around the beginning of the 20th century. They have long curly threadlike wool which is dense but lightweight and lustrous. Blended with the sheen and comfort of silk this is a truly decadent yarn!
