Farmers' Market on Hand Dyed 72/25 Blue Faced Leicester Tussah Silk Combed Wool Top 4 oz

Farmer's Market is a variegated colorway with rich wine, burgundy, pumpkin and chartreuse with a silver background. Blue Faced Leicester (or commonly known as BFL) wool is one of the finest long wools. Our particular source is approximately 26 micron and with a 3-3.5 inch staple length. It has a lovely drape and sheen, as is common with long wools, and is very resilient. Known for being an excellent wool for beginning spinners. This blend features 75% BFL wool with 25% Tussah silk, which adds to the luster and drape of this fiber. Hand dyed using professional acid dyes that are hypoallergenic and meet either Oeko-Tex 100 or organic processing standards. Sold in 4 ounce quantities. Care: Handwash with tepid water and a wool wash (we recommend Unicorn Fibre Wash). Lay flat to dry. This fiber will felt! Because of the dye method, individual braids within a dyelot are fraternal and there will be variation between braids. Different dyelots will be more like cousins.
