Sourced & spun in Yorkshire, England, Origin No. 001 is a fingering weight yarn spun with 100% undyed Bluefaced Leicester wool.

Lightweight, yet cozy, the 2-ply yarn delivers a soft hand with a gentle wool halo.  A tight twist gives the yarn added durability & crisp stitch definition for stranded colorwork, textured stitches & cables.  Bluefaced Leicester wool has a natural luster, as well as excellent moisture-wicking properties. 

Bluefaced Leicester is sought after for dyeing, as the cream-colored base results in color accurate dyeing with bright & clear tones.

This yarn is wonderful for socks, shawls, hats & cowls, as well as fine gauge sweaters & cardigans.
