50% Bluefaced Leicester/25% Silk/25% Mohair 

This blend of Bluefaced Leicester, silk and kid mohair fibre is superlatively soft and shiny, and the yarn will have a gentle halo when spun.  How it is spun, whether it's and airy or fluffy woollen spin or a smooth worsted spin, will define the amount of halo.  

The silk adds strength, sheen and smoothness and the BFL gives loft and elasticity. This blend is a real delight to spin, and the resulting yarn is soft and warm, with lots of drape.

  • Easy to draft, as all the fibres are relatively long (4-6 inches)
  • Super soft (BFL is beautifully soft and fine, Mohair is silky and fine, and silk is ... silk)
  • Plenty of elasticity thanks to the BFL and mohair. 
  • Silk and kid mohair fibre are very strong, so this is perfect for socks 

Each braid weighs approximately 50g.
