Two-Tone Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) roving

Specifications 
Approximately 4 oz
24-28 microns
 
 
Named for their beautiful dark-blue skin underneath their lustrous wool.
Nearly all Bluefaced Leicester (also known as BFL among many fiber fans) produce white wool, although some will produce dark brown or black wool. More rarely, some Bluefaced Leicester are patterned, although this is not considered a desirable characteristic and so it is often bred out as quickly as it appears. The beautiful luster of Bluefaced Leicester provides a lovely sheen to the finished yarn, and its drape is superior to many other wools. While not quite as fine as some Merino, the 24-28 micron wool of the Bluefaced Leicester is still very soft and comfortable to wear against the skin.
