In addition to the Aran BFL fleece, WYS have produced a finer DK version. Still as lustrous and silky as the Aran weight, this standard DK weight is perfect for garments, accessories, and home furnishings, as can be seen in West Yorkshire Spinners’ new book Natural Home (available here)

Now available in a stunning range of lustrous dyes, a subtle rainbow of rich colours ideal for sophisticated knitting. I cannot choose a favourite, I have a soft spot for them all - and they would look amazing in a fair isle or colourwork garment too!

100g skein of 100% Blue Faced Leicester has 224m per skein. It is hand wash (or machine delicate cycle, if you trust your machine!) Definitely do not tumble dry!

Tension is 22 sts and 28 rows to 10cm using 4mm needles.
