Lustrous Yarns.

The lustrous range of yarns are spun from a 55% Bluefaced Leicester, 45% silk mix. The lustrous nature of the BFL together with the silk gives these yarns a beutiful lustre that really enhances the colour of the natural dyes. They also have a wonderful drape making them ideal for shawls and stoles.

Lustrous 4ply.

55% Superwash BlueFaced Leicester Wool, 45% Silk.

Weight approx 400m(440yards) per 100g. Equates to 600m per 150g skein

Lustrous 4ply is not spun as tightly as our other yarns making it gorgeously plump as well as soft. For this reason, although it is a 'sock' weight we wouldn't recommend it for socks except perhaps for bedsocks. It is brilliant for garments like light cardigans or jumpers and makes wonderfully indulgent cowls and shawls.

Lustrous Myrka.

55% Superwash BlueFaced Leicester Wool, 45% Silk.

Weight approx 600m(660yards) per 100g.

Myrka is a 'non-scary' or 'heavy' lace in that it is finer than standard 4ply (sock) but plumper than 2ply (lace) weight.This gives a really luxurious yarn that is ideal for both garment and lace shawl/scarf knitting and is a great introductory yarn for anyone considering lace patterns but intimidated by working with such fine yarn..

Lustrous Lace.

55% Superwash BlueFaced Leicester Wool, 45% Silk.

Weight approx 800m(870yards) per 100g.

Lustrous Lace is our 2ply member of the lustrous range. The 55% Bluefaced Leicester wool and 45% silk mix gives a really luxurious yarn that is ideal for both std and lace knitting. The high silk comonent gives this yarn a high tensile strength so it can cope with lots of beads and is ideal for knitters/crocheters who like to rally block their projects till they squeek.
