Superwash BFL / Corriedale Sock on Cone is a soft and sturdy 4 ply sock yarn, full of warmth and character. An easy-care blend of 75% British Superwash Bluefaced Leicester and South American Superwash Corriedale wool with 25% recycled nylon, the yarn is 100% mulesing free. Superwash BFL / Corriedale Sock on Cone is a dream for hand-dyers, taking on a strong depth of colour with a lustrous shine. With a count of 4/16nm, the yarn’s four strands combined with a small amount of recycled nylon create excellent strength and durability. The yarn is the perfect blend for creating easy-care, snuggly socks and accessories that feel soft against the skin and stand the test of time.

From a hand-dyer’s perspective the options are endless: create sock kits with contrasting colours for body, heel, toe and cuff; dye up mini-skein sets for colourwork kits; create 100g skeins that self-stripe, speckle or sing in semi-solid or variegated glory – the choice is yours!

The Bluefaced Leicester sheep breed is well known for producing some of the finest British wools. It is wonderfully soft with a characteristic lustre and silkiness. Combined with South American Corriedale, a snuggly wool with a long, strong staple, full of crimp and shine, Superwash BFL / Corriedale Sock on Cone really is the winning combination.
