West Yorkshire Spinners Signature Butterflies 4-ply 100g

The West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4-ply yarn in the captivating colourway Butterflies brings together premium British spinning craftsmanship, rich vibrant colours, and exceptional durability. Renowned as one of the finest sock yarns available, this 4-ply fingering weight yarn blends 75% British wool - featuring a generous proportion of luxurious Bluefaced Leicester wool - with 25% nylon for enhanced strength and resilience. Inspired by the vibrant, natural shades of British countryside butterflies, the "Butterflies" shade produces a beautifully balanced self-striping effect as you knit or crochet. Thanks to the long-staple fibres of Bluefaced Leicester wool, the yarn feels noticeably softer and smoother against the skin than standard wool blends, making every stitch a delight to craft. While specifically engineered for long-lasting, comfortable hand-knitted socks, the softness and drape of Signature 4-ply make it equally perfect for shawls, light cardigans, scarves, gloves, and delicate accessories. It is easy to care for and fully machine washable.
