Sock/4ply/fingering weight yarn

This SW Bluefaced Leicester yarn is almost as soft as Merino but has the benefit of being robust so it's suitable as a sock yarn without needing any Nylon. 

Gauge:

In the round 2.25mm - 37sts & 52 rows

Knitted Flat 2.5mm - 31sts & 47 row

These have been photographed indoors in my workshop. Colours may vary slightly under different lighting conditions. I have done my best to capture the colours as accurately as possible. Some colours are notoriously difficult to represent correctly on the screen - teals and blue/greens are the worst offenders with the results looking either blue or just green. 

If the yarn is 'superwash' (or SW), it has been treated to prevent shrinking in the washing machine. Even though SW yarns can be put through the washer, I recommend gently hand washing or soaking your finished items in cool/lukewarm water with a mild wool wash - this will help keep your colours looking bright. Hot water may make the colours bleed or fade. To dry, gently wring out and lay flat.

My yarn is dyed in tiny batches of two. If you'd like a custom order I'd be delighted to do that for you. You can contact me through this shop or you can message me on Instagram.
