Due to the large diameter (32 to 40 microns) and the structure of their fibre, longwools are strong, hard-wearing and very lustrous, ideal to create heavier knitwear or outer garment. Bluefaced Leicester fleece forms long, narrow, curly locks and present a fibre diameter varying between 28 and 24 microns, which makes it thinner than most longwools. Consequently it is also much softer and silky. Due to these structural properties, the Blue-faced Leicester wool is great to create a yarn both strong and soft, that drapes beautifully once knitted with a fabulous stitch definition
The Honeycomb Basket Blanket is part of the Natural Home Collection designed by Jenny Watson 'to showcase the very best of British fibres and their superb stitch definition' This collection highlights two of West Yorkshire Spinners finest British fleeces: Blue faced Leicester, famous for its strong, lustrous, beautifully soft wool, and Jacobs, known for its natural colour palette and lofty warmth.
The finished blanket measures approx 55 x 79 inches and the yarn kit contains 23 x 100g hanks of 100% WYS Blue faced Leicester Roving. The picture shown is in Light Brown but you can choose from Ecru, Light Brown, Brown and Variations (choose which one you want in the drop down menu) and a printed pattern to make it. It is simply a stunning addition to any home interior. The pattern also includes the pattern for the Honeycomb Cabled cushion.
