Bluefaced Leicester

Wool2Dye4 is licensed to sell British yarns, and our Bluefaced Leicester is 100% British Wool. Now, we point this out because it is important.  Our British Bluefaced Leicester fiber is supersorted before it even goes to the mills, meaning that it is picked through at twice the rate that normal wools are handled and examined before being combed and sent for processing at the spinning mill.

It is important to realize that British BFL is an entirely different qualiy of BFL than what is available from breeders elsewhere. British Bluefaced Leicester is the original BFL and what we carry is 100% British Bluefaced Leicester.   

The British yarns are stocked in the U.K., and sent weekly to Wool2Dye4 in small quantities. So, this means that at times we may run short on the BFL's and might have to ask you to wait a few days until the next weekly shipment arrives. This is rare, but might happen now and then.  And, of course, it is always worth the wait for these lovelies!

Our yarns are sold by the kilo. Skeins are packaged ten skeins of 100 grams each to equal a kilo.  Some are on cones, so check the listing under Fiber:  Bluefaced Leicester, and also under the category:  Superwash/Felting/Cones.
