Autumn BFL/Mulberry silk Roving/Combed Top
Product information
£20.00
Description
This fibre is a deep pink, golds, navy and grey. 50/50% blend of Blue-faced Leicester and Mulberry silk. The BFL is strong yet very soft and the silk adds luxury and drape. The fibre is lovely to spin and well as felt. The yarn will work well for for socks, mitts scarves and shawl. This blend is strong and suited for spinning sock yarns. BFL has a long staple which will prevent pilling. The fibre is hand painted using commercial acid dyes in a smoke and pet free studio. I dye my fibre in small batches of two. There may be some minor colour differences between the dyed fibre as wool is a natural fibre and will vary in how it takes up the dye. Care: Hand-washing in cool water and lay flat to dry. I have taken every care to ensure that the fibre is colour fast. However, you may find slight colour bleeding initially so wash your yarn and garment separately for the first three washes. I photograph my fibre in a light box to show accurate colours, however as monitor settings vary, the colours might appear slightly different on delivery.

We recommend you purchase enough yarn for your project in order to ensure consistency. Although we follow the same recipes and techniques, dye lots cannot be guaranteed to be the same. We photograph our hand dyed yarns in a lightbox as accurately as possible, however colours may vary.
All our hand dyed yarns are dyed in small batches of 4-5 skeins. There may be minor differences between skeins and dye-lot. It is recommended that knitting or crocheting with alternate skeins for larger projects to prevent pooling.
