This classic pairing of fibers is a blend to end all blends. The silk and Bluefaced Leicester wool create a soft, shiny, yet robust yarn. It takes the dye incredibly well, it speckles well and has a glorious sheen. Its great stitch definition means that it is particularly brilliant for lace knitting and will create lovely lightweight garments and shawls. It also works well for embroidery on knits, and for that reason we also have it available in 3g embroidery skeins. A Wool2dye4 classic.
Equivalent to a size #8 Perle cotton embroidery thread, these embroidery skeins are very versatile. They can be used for visible mending, many embroidery styles, and even for testing dyeing methods on small quantities of yarn.
