Bluefaced Leicester blend - 4ply - Dragonfly Dancers

A superb collection of vibrant, quality yarns, lovingly created by Chris. Fabulous to know where the fleece comes from and it is fascinating to discover the difference in yarns that various sheep breeds produce.

A wonderful small business

I bought a wool winder and umbrella winder for my skein’s. Chris is lovely and so knowable about his craft. Supporting local small business and the wonderful creations that Chris makes along with expert dyed British wool. Also situated within the historic Worden Park.
Would recommend.

Gorgeous colour scheme

I absolutely love this limited edition yarn, the colour scheme is beautiful and every project I’ve made in it looks amazing, it has a real premium luxury handfeel to it too and is a steal at £15 a skein!

There were two wool bags on offer. Both were lovely and I found it very difficult to decide between the two - so I bought both. The wool arrived very quickly and is beautiful quality. Thank you.
