Bluefaced Leicester wool and silk is a classic pairing. This yarn takes the dye really well. It is plump enough so that speckles show up and has a glorious shine. BFL Silk Lace works really well for glazing and layering techniques and colours appear strong and pearlescent. The combination of excellent yardage, and the way that the knitted fabric has some substance, makes this a fantastic lightweight garment yarn as well as being brilliant for lace shawls. It is one of our favourites.
