Product Description:

Handspun Hand painted Blue Faced Leicester Yarn Silk green yellow blue
A skein of luxury handspun.
This one is subtle and delicate. I handspun the yarn from rare breed Blue Faced Leicester. I mixed in some fine Bombyx silk to catch the light. The yarn is self plied (before it was dyed, to keep the colours bright and separate) I then handpainted it in a palette of mid to pastel greens, with a generous touch of golden yellow and mid blue as highlights.
The BFL has a slight halo and the high quality silk has a subtle gleam. This skein could be used as an accent yarn with another more basic yarn of similar weight - just pick out one of the colours and match it - or there is enough here for a reasonable sized project. I can see it as a hat or as a stunning pair of fingerless gloves.
