Description

Bluefaced Leicester is often called the softest British wool – and once you’ve knitted with it, it’s easy to understand why.

Smooth, silky and beautifully comfortable next to the skin, this yarn has a softness that makes it perfect for garments and accessories you’ll want to wear every day. At the same time, it still has the strength and resilience that makes wool so special to work with.

This Aran weight version has a lovely balance to it – soft enough for cosy jumpers and accessories, but substantial enough to create warm fabrics with beautiful stitch definition.

Because these shades are completely undyed, each colour has real depth and character. The warm ecru feels clean and classic, the oatmeal has gentle natural warmth, and the brown shade brings rich earthy tones straight from the fleece itself.

Like all Purl &Jane Yorkshire Yarns, this wool is spun in Yorkshire using 100% British fleece, celebrating the heritage of British sheep and traditional spinning expertise closer to home.
