The breed Cornish Rex was chosen because the curl of the Cornish Rex’s fur appears similar to the crimp in the Bluefaced Leicester wool that is the base of this yarn. Both originate in England, and we though it was the perfect combo.

The yarn itself is a bouncy, yet sturdy, sock yarn, with great stitch definition. It’s nearly as soft as a Merino sock yarn, but with just that extra bit of bounce from the BFL crimp.
