PREMIUM QUALITY: BFL Roving (Blue Face Leicester) is UK's finest longwool and so soft. Most spinners find BFL easier to spin than Merino and prefer it for it's wonderful drape and high luster. 25 microns, but the fiber feels finer than the micron count would suggest. BEGINNER-FRIENDLY: BFL Roving is an excellent wool for beginning spinners: we pre-drafted this roving to thumb thickness which makes learning to spin a breeze. BFL is also very popular for felting, carding, blending, weaving, and even knitting and crocheting. Blue Faced Leicester is a longwool with a staple length of 3-4 inches with slight curl and fine crimp. It spins into a beautiful, lustrous yarn with great resilience. HAND DYED TO PERFECTION: BFL Roving is carefully kettle dyed in small batches to create tonally complex, vivid coloring with nuances that can only be achieved by hand dyeing. We are proud to offer these variegated colors to discerning crafters who appreciate the unique qualities of hand dyed fiber. If you value tonally complex, nuanced color and sustainable dyeing practices, this fiber is made for you! 6 COLOR OPTIONS: Each 5oz Gradient Color Pack contains 5 exciting hand dyed shades of super soft BFL Roving (1oz / 28g of each color) KIND TO SKIN & PLANET: Our BFL Roving is cruelty free and ethically sourced from non-mulesed flocks. It is then dyed sustainably by hand with vinegar. No water was wasted in the dyeing process. Produced in a facility run on solar energy. Very eco friendly!
