WSNE Natural Mixed Blueface Leicester (BFL) Roving

Many spinners enjoy BFL wool for its luster and body. Smooth and medium-soft, this fiber is great for both spinning and felting. Mixed BFL is a 75/25 blend of natural white and natural black Blue Face Leicester. The colors are lightly blended to provide the dyer limitless color possibilities with natural occurring shades. It makes a beautiful earthy yarn when spun up, and it will be richly heathered when dyed.

As this is a natural product, expect slight variation from one batch to the next (the photos show possible range of color variation).

BFL can be dyed with Jacquard Acid Dyes.

Please note: In January 2023, Ashland Bay sold their fiber business to Worsted Spinning New England (WSNE), and we now order this fiber from their mill instead. Quality of fibers has remained consistent during this transition.

Sold by the ounce or by the pound.
