BFL On the Bobbin!

I have some Superwash BFL on the bobbin! I am spinning up three lengths and am going to make a three ply yarn for socks. BFL holds up really well for socks, it is very sturdy! The only problem is I don't really enjoy spinning BFL, but I really like making socks especially socks out of handspun yarn! So I guess I can put up with spinning superwash BFL.



Happy Adventures, Trish

    This might be a silly question but what does BFL stand for? Why is it tricky to spin? I like the colors.

    It is actually really easy to spin but I don't like it because the finished yarn is hairy:) It stands for Blue Faced Leicester, it is a type of sheep!
