BFL Sport/ DK

BFL Sport/DK is the yarn base I reach for most when knitting garments and shawls. Sitting between sport and DK weight, it offers beautiful versatility and works across a wide range of patterns.

Its flexible gauge allows you to create everything from lighter, drapey fabrics to more structured knits, depending on your needle choice.

Bluefaced Leicester is known for its natural warmth and subtle sheen, giving colourways depth and richness. On this untreated base, colours develop in soft, blended layers, creating a watercolour-like effect.

Perfect for garments and shawls with cables, texture, and colourwork.

Planning a project?

Most garments require 5–8 skeins.

  • Sweater: 5–8 skeins
  • Shawl: 3–6 skeins

Full sweater quantities are dyed together for consistency.

All colourways are dyed in small batches and available in limited quantities.
