Unleash your creativity! Make all your spinning and felting dreams come true with this exquisitely hand dyed wool fiber. Named for its distinctive dark-blue skin, the Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) sheep is a hardy, sweet-tempered breed that has been valued in England for its lustrous wool since medieval times. Its fiber compares favorably to merino--BFL is lustrous, with a long staple, and soft enough to wear against bare skin.
