Keenan BFL DK
Description
Deirdre put together a beautiful Jane Austen inspired palette for us. I was thinking sweaters when I first saw this, but now I see several combinations that would make beautiful shawls, hats, or mitts.
Does "Most Ardently" look familiar? It is the new name for "Spring" from our Glen Ellyn Grove collection.
Dyed by Deirdre Darr (aka Keenan Yarns, aka Fangirl)
100% Superwash Bluefaced Leicester DK yarn
4ply yarn
246 yds/100g skein
BFL DK is not quite as "toothy" as 100% wool, but has more substance than superwash merino.
