Blue Face Leicester is a British breed that is well known for being the finest of the medium wools, offering softness and luster.
Shetland wool brings loft and air into the blend and the characteristics we expect from a classic wool.
Manx Loaghtan is a rare breed that combines tight crimp with a longer staple length and brings a bounce to the yarn.
