Product Description
Unleash your creativity! Make all your spinning and felting dreams come true with this exquisitely hand dyed wool fiber. Named for its distinctive dark-blue skin, the Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) sheep is a hardy, sweet-tempered breed that has been valued in England for its lustrous wool since medieval times. Its fiber compares favorably to merino--BFL is lustrous, with a long staple, and soft enough to wear against bare skin. BFL is a semi-lustrous longwool with a very soft hand and a micron count of 21-23. Pre-drafted to thumb thickness, our roving will quickly spin into singles-- making it ideal for beginners and experts alike. Our BFL roving felts wonderfully, no matter your preferred method. It is equally suitable for needle felting, wet felting, nuno felting, and for making felted soaps and dryer balls. From funky festival dreadlocks to rustic woven wall hangings, our creative community loves our BFL for many other creative art and craft projects. The possibilities are endless!
