Shine, strength, softness, that's the promise of BFL combined with a high percentage of natural Bombyx silk! The Bluefaced Leicester sheep is an English breed with a particularly long fleece, ensuring the construction of a robust yarn that resists pilling. Combined with silk, which provides softness and shine, it forms a high-quality, all-purpose base and a beautifully draped, supple, and enveloping knit. As for dyeing, this yarn takes colors gently and blends them rather than separating them, resulting in a more "melted" rather than contrasting appearance.
