BFL Wool Roving, Hand Dyed - Nile

Spinners love Blue Faced Leicester longwool - it easily spins into a beautiful, soft, lustrous yarn with great resilience.

What is so special about this BFL roving? 

We pre-drafted it to thumb thickness so that beginning spinners can concentrate on their hand movements rather than drafting. Made from the finest softest combed top available - you will quickly see why a lot of experienced spinners prefer BFL to Merino.

Also, the colors!

With careful kettle dyeing in small batches we created tonally complex, vivid coloring with nuances that can only be achieved by hand dyeing. We are proud to offer these variegated colors to discerning crafters who appreciate the unique qualities of hand dyed fiber. No two bags look exactly alike. We offer this USA hand dyed BFL roving in an artists palette of many colors. 

Also, BFL is a great choice for many other crafts from needle and wet felting to weaving. It is particularly popular for adding a dash of color and texture to wall hangings and even super bulky knit and crochet projects.
