Purple Sprouting Orion 4Ply

4Ply Orion – Bluefaced Leicester (BFL)

BFL is one of Paula's favourite yarns, and she has converted me too! I have used Green River in my Trouville and have absolutely thrashed it — well, I wear it a LOT! It is still gorgeous, just like the day I cast her off. Highly recommended.

Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) is a smooth, worsted-spun and plied yarn, renowned for its natural sheen and great bounce. Strong, yet soft enough for next-to-skin wear.

BFL is a versatile choice for many projects — from hats and shawls to sweaters, socks, and vests. It has an even stitch definition so works well for a variety of techniques, including stockinette, textured stitches, brioche, and cables.

Durable and resistant to pilling, BFL is a great choice for creating long-lasting pieces.
