British Blue 100 is 100% Bluefaced Leicester wool from the fleece of British sheep. Bluefaced Leicester (or "BFL") wool is supremely soft, with a subtle sheen. BFL sheep produce some of the finest commercial demi-luster wool in the world, and BFL wool is considered to be Britain's most luxurious homegrown fiber. British Blue 100 is a DK weight yarn.
British Blue 100 has a soft drape and very good stitch definition.
NOTE: Due to the increased cost of BFL wool in Britain, Erika Knight has decided to discontinue this yarn line. We recommend buying all of the yarn you need for a project at one time because once it's gone, it's gone.
