DK BFL Lustre is a hand dyed wonderfully soft and squishy DK weight yarn. It is a spun from 100% Bluefaced Leicester which is the finest UK wool commercially available today. It has a completely unique character combining softness with a silky texture and sheen.
On the animal, the fleece is formed from long "locks" of fiber giving the sheep a distinctive look. Bluefaced Leicester is one of the longest wool fleeces available and the yarns are therefore stable and very hard wearing and low pilling.
This lovely yarn is great for any project including shawls, cowls, sweaters, hats, and mittens! Great for knitting, crocheting, and weaving.

I do my very best to make sure there will be no bleeding of colors, but some colors are prone to bleeding and you should always wash handcrafted items separately. Even though this is made of a superwash wool, it is still wool and needs tender loving care.
I also take care in trying to represent true colors in the photos of my hand dyed yarns, but different devices can display colors differently. If for some reason you are not satisfied, please let me know so we can work something out.
I am willing to dye made to order colors and can always create a specific order amount if you need more than I have in stock, so don't hesitate to contact me!
