Blue Faced Leicester by Juniper Moon
Lots of companies offer a "merino" wool yarn, but Juniper Moon Farms was one of the first to come out with a yarn spun strictly from the fleece of BFL (Blue Face Leicester) sheep!
​
BFLs belong to the long wool class of sheep - which means that the fiber length is longer and the fiber is wavier, instead of crimpier. Both of these qualities make for a more durable (i.e. less pilling) yarn and also one that has a bit more "lustre" compared to pooled wool or merino yarn.
​
Because this yarn has both durability and great stitch definition, it is a super choice for a cabled sweater. After all, you hate to spend the extra time knitting cables if you can't count on the sweater looking fresh and new years later!
​
202 yards per skein, this yarn is recommended knit at 4.5-5 sts/inch on a US 6-7
