Blue Faced Leicester is a breed known for its long staple, natural sheen, and durability: qualities that show up clearly in this DK from Etrofil. It's not superwash treated, so it retains the natural characteristics of the breed: good stitch definition, a slight lustre, and a strength that holds up well to wear. Strong, consistent colour and generous yardage make it excellent value. Hand wash recommended; BFL is more forgiving than many non-superwash wools but still benefits from gentle care.
