Aaaah. BFL

I am in love with the little Bluefaced Leicester sheep!  This is, hands down, my favorite fiber to spin.   I have spun a lot of the much-beloved  merino, and I do really like it; don't get me wrong.   But there is something about BFL.

The yarns are so very soft.   I love putting the rovings and the finished against my face just to feel the softness.  And it is extremely easy to spin.   Like butter.  Unless I'm trying to create a thicker yarn, I don't even feel the need to pre-draft the BFL rovings.



So, here's the latest BFL yarn from my wheel - Paradee:

Yum, yum, yum.

Unfortunately (for me, anyway) this one has just been posted in my Etsy shop.   I'll miss you, Paradee!
