Baby Belle
A particularly fine LIMITED EDITION crop of ultra soft Leicester Lambswool sourced by LLSBA breeder Brit Ritchey of Buckeye View Farm in Eggleston, VA, and expertly processed by Blue Mountain Fiber Farm and Wool Mill (another Leicester breeder!) Me and Brit worked together for a few years on the board for the LLSBA and became great friends during that time. Her Featured Fiber Farm blog post will be coming soon as she is currently on vacation!
This yarn will fool you. It looks so fine and delicate (which it is…), yet is undeniably sturdy and demands presence when worked up. It is very drapey, defined stitching, lustrous and really plays well with light and shadow. I envision this particular yarn worked into heirloom patterns to celebrate a wedding or a baby, however would be just as lovely worked into something as practical as everyday-wear socks or mittens that demand a strong yarn. It has no stretch, so keep that in mind when choosing a pattern. It also dyes up amazing!
