This design shows the beauty of the natural colours in the fleece of the glorious British breed: Bluefaced Leicester. Descended from a longwool sheep breed that was first bred in England in the 18th century, it is now raised worldwide. Garments knitted with this yarn are soft and warm.

You can substitute this yarn with any bulky soft yarn in natural or bright colours.
