Pure Bluefaced Leicester Aran – Rare & Beautifully Soft - White

Ethically produced, this is a truly special yarn that can be surprisingly hard to find in its pure form.

Our exquisite 100% Bluefaced Leicester Aran is spun to 3/4.6 Nm (BS984 standard), offering a classic worsted (Aran) weight with exceptional quality and character.

Each 100g (3.53 oz) skein provides approximately 135m (150 yards) of beautifully soft, lofty yarn.  Thanks to the natural bounce of pure Bluefaced Leicester, it has a slightly fuller, more generous feel than standard Aran - giving your finished pieces wonderful body and warmth.
