The BFL is strong yet very soft and the silk adds luxury and drape. The fibre is lovely to spin and well as felt. The yarn will work well for for socks, mitts scarves and shawl.

Uses: Spinning and felting
Approximately 100 grams
The fibre is hand painted using commercial acid dyes in a smoke and pet free studio.
I dye my fibre in small batches of two. There may be some minor colour differences between the dyed fibre as wool is a natural fibre and will vary in how it takes up the dye.
Care: Hand-washing in cool water and lay flat to dry. I have taken every care to ensure that the fibre is colour fast. However, you may find slight colour bleeding initially so wash your yarn and garment separately for the first three washes.
I photograph my fibre in a light box to show accurate colours. However, as monitor setting vary, the colours might appear slightly different on delivery.
