A wonderful blend of Bluefaced Leicester and bamboo, this yarn has a slightly more robust texture than our Merino-bamboo blend 49107 – Boo 4ply. Bluefaced Leicester has a longer staple length and more sheen than Merino, which along with the bamboo, adds a delicate shine. It takes the dye really well, and the fibre content means it would be strong enough for socks on a tight gauge (2.25mm needles). The resulting knitted fabric is warm and drapey – ideal for accessories and sweaters.
