Description
This fibre is made up of 50/50% blend of Blue-faced Leicester and Mulberry silk. It comes in a lovely colour mix of turquoise, gold, red and blue violet, deep pinks. 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. This blend is strong and suited for spinning sock yarns. BFL has a long staple which will prevent pilling.
Fibre: 50% Blue-faced Leicester and 50% silk
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. As wood is a natural fibre, there may be some minor colour differences between the dyed fibre and so it will vary in how it takes up the dye.
Care: Hand-wash in cool water and lay flat to dry. I have taken every care to ensure that the fibre is colour-fast. However, you may initially find slight colour bleeding 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 settings vary, the colours might appear slightly different on delivery.
