Border Leicester Sport Yarn

The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook calls Border Leicester a "friendly, sturdy wool," and we couldn't agree more! If you've knit with and loved Romney, give this excellent sport-weight longwool from Yankee Rock Farm a try. It's the finer-gauged sibling to their BFL DK. Its natural luster and shine pairs well with a 2-ply twist for crisp stitch definition. The excellent work of shepherds Colin and Siri puts this Border Leicester yarn on the exceptional side for comfort and softness. It is lighter than some of its heavier longwool cousins and will work up into airy shawls and sweaters! Choose from 2 natural shades, or 3 rich hues hand-dyed by the shepherds!
