Originally hailing from the United Kingdom, the Bluefaced Leicester breed is renowned for its luxurious fleece, highly sought after by fiber enthusiasts and artisans alike.
Fleece Characteristics:
The BFL fleece is celebrated for its exceptional softness and luster, making it a prized choice for various fiber arts projects. With a micron count typically ranging from 24 to 28 microns, this wool strikes a perfect balance between softness and durability. The long, lustrous fibers showcase a beautiful sheen, enhancing the elegance of any finished creation.
Best Use of Wool:
Crafters and artists cherish BFL wool for its versatile nature and rich array of colors, spanning from pure white to various shades of gray and brown. Its inherent strength and fine texture lend themselves well to creating resilient yet delicately soft garments and accessories. BFL wool is particularly favored for crafting exquisite shawls, scarves, socks, and lightweight sweaters, providing warmth and comfort without feeling heavy on the skin.
Staple Length of the Lock:
The staple length of BFL fleece is longer than many other breeds, ranging from 3 to 6 inches (approximately 8 to 15 cm). This generous length allows for seamless spinning, enabling crafters to produce continuous yarns with ease. The longer staple length also contributes to the wool's versatility, making it suitable for both fine and worsted spinning techniques.
