Verdigris Handspun Bluefaced Leicester with Silk Ply
Handspun yarn in weight 1/superfine/sock/light fingering, 180 yards and 34 g, in Verdigris colorway. 26 wpi. This yarn is spun from combed Bluefaced Leicester wool top and plied with a silk thread, and was dyed after spinning with high-quality acid-fast dyes. BFL wool is highly sought after by fiber artists of all stripes for its soft hand and high luster and strength.
This is a two-ply yarn with a Z twist, meaning it may feel more natural to crocheters and Continental knitters than the majority of commercial yarns - but English knitters needn’t feel left out; it can be knitted that way too! As for weaving, it would make a lovely weft but likely lacks the tensile strength for a good warp.
Verdigris colorway is an array of greens with pops of copper peeking through. Photos are taken in natural light with as much color fidelity as possible, but please remember that screens vary, so from one device to another it may appear slightly different. However, the item shown is the item you will receive.
Yarn is wrapped in a hank. Caking is available upon request.
All my fibers are blended, spun, and dyed in a smoke free, pet friendly home.
Care instructions: hand wash finished items in cool to lukewarm water, with gentle detergent or baby shampoo. Do not subject to harsh scrubbing/wringing or sudden temperature shocks when wet unless felting is desired. Reshape and dry flat.
This is a one of a kind item. If you are interested in a larger quantity or would like to purchase Verdigris in another format or on a different fiber base, please reach out to me! I’d be thrilled to spin and/or dye up a batch to order. It will obviously vary to an extent from this skein, but the spirit will remain the same.
