Blue Tweed Fibre Blend

This blended top makes a lovely grey tweed with flecks of blue throughout it. It is composed of primarily Blue-Faced Leicester wool which is a long wool originating from Britain. The fleece from this breed is hard-wearing but soft and has a lot of loft to it. A yarn made from this blend will likely also be hard-wearing but will have it's own natural softness especially with the merino blended in it.

With both of these in mind, it would spin into a really nice sock yarn - softness, lot's of strength and lots of loft to trap that warm air! 

What is a tweed? It is a fabric made from a yarn that has flecks of colour in it. Using a blend like this is one way you can create your own tweed.
