This is the Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) version of 49145 Donegal 4ply. It is a strong, high-twist yarn with non-dyeable Donegal neps which remain prominent. It has a warm undertone due to the neps being blended in. It takes the dye really well and knits up into a pretty fabric with super drape. Due to its long staple length, BFL adds strength, and if knitted at a tight gauge would make good socks (2.25mm needles). Please note the reason this yarn is not OEKO-TEX® certified is because of the neps.
