Blazing Hot - Hand Spun BFL Wool - 2 Ply - 6.4 oz

Description

Color - Blazing Hot
This color was spun from a roving I had listed in my shop - Sizzling Hot, combined with a similar roving but with more black in it. One ply each roving color. The results are spectacular!
Recently I upgraded my spinning wheel and now I have the ability to spin much lager skeins. So now you can have enough yardage in one continuous skin to work your entire project! Enjoy Blazing hot in a new larger skein.

Approx 6.4 oz, 342 yards of 100% Blue Faced Leicester (BFL) Wool. 2 Ply. Averaging 10-13 WPI Medium Weight Yarn

A message about plying yarn. Plying the singles gives them balance. A single strand pulls in the direction it was spun. Spinning two or three of these spun singles in the opposite direction balances out the twist so it won't pull either way. Plying also increases the strength of the yarn and adds elasticity.

Blue Faced Leicester is a British breed of sheep with very long and lustrous fiber. It has a very nice drape and is an exceptional fiber! Some say it is the new Merino!

Check your pattern recommendations to be sure if this yarn is suitable for your needs. Hand wash and lay flat to dry. Very suitable for felting.

This yarn has been hand dyed especially for you with professional quality, non toxic, colorfast dyes by Collette

Color varies from monitor to monitor. I have tried to offer the most reliable photos as possible.
