A long-standing favourite — this yarn is a CWC classic. The Bluefaced Leicester pairs well with the silk, and the cashmere adds softness and a gentle halo. The yarn takes the dye well and speckles are great on this base. It also works nicely for glazing techniques. The resulting fabric is warm, soft and blocks out well. It makes lovely shawls and accessories, and Jeni still has a cardigan made in this that is over 13 years old!
