BFL 2/8 is one of the finest wools on the planet, so it was a natural choice for our Fall/Winter 2011 Fashion Colors yarns. Blue Face Leicester 2/8 is a fingering weight long staple wool (this means it has a very strong fiber) that is softer than merino. It is also a beautifully honest wool - no superwash, no adulterations. It's not only pretty much the way nature presented it to us (ok, not the color or spinning, but you know what I mean), it is soft, comforting, and warm the way only an unadulterated wool can be. Consider the possibilities of BFL 2/8 for baby layettes, lace shawls, fine sweaters. Imagine what a traditional Fair Isle sweater might look like if you used handpainted BFL 2/8 - imagine further how soft and luscious it might feel. The possibilities are endless . . . and awaiting your hands.

Tempest - Find yourself tossed upon a sea of wonder and delight -- and fabulous styling!

The original Tempest was made by pairing a variegated BFL 2/8 colorway with a semi-solid. With Colorsong's Fashion Color palette featuring colors selected especially because they all harmonize with each other, you can create a Tempest with bolder striping that will match clothing coming out in this Fall/Winter season. Weaverknits' (aka: Ann and Beth) pattern is FREE at http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring08/PATTtempest.html !! The beauty is enhanced by the fact that all sizes up to 55" bust can be knit with 1 skein of each colorway for Medium or smaller and only 2 skeins of each colorway for larger sizes!
