BFL DK
$33.00
Deirdre put together a beautiful palette for us. I was thinking sweaters when we put this together, but now I see several combinations that would make beautiful shawls, hats or mitts.
Many of Deirdre's colors are named after songs by a-ha. For example, Make it Soon, is inspired by the a-ha song Make is Soon from the album Analogue. "Tomorrow she'll get wild again" and here is the perfect red for getting wild with some bad girl black lowlights.
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.
