High Street is the name for this SW Bluefaced Leicester combined with Nylon. The BFL is sourced from the UK and spun into a nice tight twist. The combination plumps scrumptiously and saturates dye beautifully for bright colors. This yarn is perfect for socks, or accessories like shawls, scarves and mittens. It creates a wonderfully spongy soft texture when held double!
