FAQ's:
What is BFL wool and why is it special?
BFL (British Bluefaced Leicester) wool is known for its softness, smooth handle and fine quality — perfect for next-to-skin yarns. It also has good strength and drape, making it a favourite for spinning and knitwear.
Why add Rose fibre?
Rose fibre adds a subtle silk-like softness and slight lustre, enhancing the hand-feel and finishing quality of yarn. It also brings a distinctive natural character and is ideal for crafters seeking a unique, artisan result.
Can I dye this fibre?
Yes — as with most natural fibres, you can hand-dye the wool/rose blend. Dye tests are recommended because plant-based fibres may take dye differently than wool.
How much fibre should I buy?
I often get asked how much fibre would be required for a project so I have prepared this short guide which may help you.
