Copper Pot – Bluefaced Leicester/Silk

Colours & Inspiration

Reminiscent of old copper kettles and verdigris covered pots, this blend has the comforting hue of a beloved antique.  Bright jade lifts the surrounding bronze and soft lavender and the mix of the colours together is like sitting down to a comforting cup of tea with a friend.

Fibre

60% Bluefaced Leicester/40% Tussah silk

This blend of oatmeal Bluefaced Leicester and natural Tussah silk is a delight. BFL is deliciously soft and strong with a lovely character, and the silk adds luxury and drape. The oatmeal colour of the BFL and the natural, unbleached silk add depth to any colours dyed on to them. It’s a dream to spin, and also felts beautifully. This two fibres are well blended, making this great for beginner spinners and seasoned spinners alike, and would be good for luxurious socks, cosy mitts or scarves to keep out wintry gusts.

Each braid weighs 100g.
