The pairing of Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) with silk is second to none. BFL has sheen and long staple length, making it a natural partner to silk. This yarn is a little thicker than our standard lace yarns, which makes it great for beginner lace knitters. It sucks up the dye, and speckles really well with vibrant colours. Perfect for garments and shawls – it has a beautiful, bouncy texture, and keeps its shape well especially when knitted in lace stitches. Please see our notes on dyeing silk.
