Peninsula Yarn BFL is wool from the British Blue Faced Leicester sheep, known for its longer staple, curly wool. The longer staple length of the wool means it retains strength, and is durable with less pilling. The tight curls of the wool means great memory and will hold it’s shape compared to merino wool. Longer staple wool also has a slight sheen to it, although not quite as next-to-skin soft as merino. This is a great alternative sock yarn to a merino/nylon blend. Superwash means you can throw it in the washing machine without fear of felting and hang or lay flat to dry (although I always recommend hand-washing even for Superwash yarns)
