Superwash Bluefaced Leicester (BFL)/Silk - lace weight - hand dyed yarn - Ready to Ship

Superwash Bluefaced Leicester and silk yarn in lace weight is a luxurious and lightweight blend that combines the natural sheen and durability of Bluefaced Leicester wool with the smoothness and lustre of silk. With its elegant drape and subtle shine, this yarn is perfect for intricate lacework, delicate shawls, and lightweight wraps.

It’s also an excellent choice as a second thread to carry alongside other yarns, adding strength, softness, and a gentle sheen without adding too much bulk. The Bluefaced Leicester adds warmth and elasticity, while the silk enhances the overall texture, giving finished pieces a beautiful stitch definition and flow. The superwash treatment allows for easy care, making it suitable for creating both special accessories and sophisticated layered projects.

I would be happy to wind your skeins into cakes at no cost, please leave a message at checkout if you'd like that. Otherwise your yarn will be shipped in skeins.

I use acid dyes that result in vibrant permanent colours. I recommend to handwash a ready item in cool water with as little movement as possible for best results. Some colours might bleed at first wash.
