85% Mixed natural colored bluefaced leicester wool and 15% Tussah Silk. Bluefaced Leicester and Silk is one of Kimber's favorite fiber blends to spin! This blend starts out as a pale taupe-y grey in color prior to dyeing making all the resulting colors much more rich in hue. The resulting yarn is soft with a high luster and can be used for virtually anything from socks (because the silk imparts strength) to cowls (because of the fineness of the the bluefaced leicester wool).
