Fleece Artist, Bluenose BFL Sock: Dark Sky Preserve
Soft and with a slightly fuzzy halo, Blue Face Leicester comes from a particular sheep breed whose face features white hair over black skin; thus the "blue face" and the name "Bluenose" of this line. Fleece Artist combines this wool with nylon to produce an impeccably dyed skein on easy care yarn. Perfect for socks, and also ideal for lightweight sweaters and shawls.
Fleece Artist is a family operation that has been dyeing yarn in Nova Scotia for over 40 years. If you haven't worked with their yarn before, you definitely need to try this one.
