Featuring Bluefaced Leicester wool, Leo is a lofty fingering weight yarn ideal for strong socks, sweaters, mitts, and other projects that call for a formidable yet cozy fibre.  It tends to fill out after blocking, and I recommend it for fingering or sport weight projects. It is soft enough for next to skin wear for most people. 

What is Bluefaced Leicester (BFL)?

BFL is a longwool sheep breed that produces wool that is long, fine, dense, and sturdy. BFL fibre has a long staple length–actual length of each fibre from skin to tip–which gives it a visual sheen compared with shorter fibres like merino. This long staple also improves strength and durability.
