This yarn is an absolute joy to work with. The worsted-spun BFL has lovely bounce and sheen, and the hand-dyeing process creates those rich, saturated colours that make every project special. It's strong enough for hard-wearing socks and mittens, yet soft enough for cosy jumpers and delicate shawls. The stitch definition is superb — perfect for showing off cables, textured stitches, and intricate patterns. Hand wash in cool water to keep it looking its best.
