This is a classic pairing of fibres, the silk and Bluefaced Leicester work so well together due to the natural shine and the long staple fibre length of the BFL. This yarn sucks up the dye and speckles very well. The colours appear intense and bright.

The knitted fabric has a soft shine and gentle halo and results in a lovely drape. This is lovely for shawls, accessories, and garments.
