Drawing on the popularity of our Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) Decadence range, we have created this yarn. The Merino fibre is less lustrous than BFL, and a shade softer, making this yarn a useful alternative. It takes the dye incredibly well and speckles nicely too. It knits perfectly as lace and has great stitch definition. This is a classic shawl yarn as the knitted fabric has an attractive shine and drape. It could also be used for lightweight garments. Please see our notes on dyeing silk.
