DESCRIPTION:

Superwash Bluefaced/Corriedale DK is a soft and durable yarn full of warmth and character. This low-maintenance blend consists of 50% superwash-treated British Bluefaced Leicester wool and 50% superwash-treated South American Corriedale wool. The yarn is 100% mulesing-free.

With a yarn count of 4/9 Nm, the four twisted threads ensure high strength and durability. This results in easy-care garments and accessories that feel pleasantly soft against the skin and will bring you joy for years to come.

The stitches really stand out—which makes this yarn ideal for cable and textured patterns as well as for classic, simple knitted pieces.

The Bluefaced Leicester sheep breed is known for producing one of the finest British wool qualities. Its wool is wonderfully soft and is characterized by a distinctive sheen and silky texture. Combined with the supple South American Corriedale wool—whose long, strong fibers offer plenty of crimp and luster—the result is a thoroughly successful yarn blend.
