| I love trying out new base yarns, and my product line features a
diverse range of weights and fibers, though you'll see that I do have a
particular fondness for Blue-Faced Leicester. Huckleberry Knits currently

silk, 15% nylon, and 2% real silver |

Alder |
100% superwash Blue-Faced
Leicester |
4 oz, 200 yards, U.S. 6-8 |
This worsted/light worsted,
machine washable yarn is custom spun for me. It has a tight twist, making it
highly resistant to pilling, and has great stitch definition. However, it is
not as soft as my other BFL yarns. |

3.5 oz, 270 yards, U.S. 6-8 |
Soft with a cottony feel.
Despite its yardage, this acts more like a worsted or light worsted yarn. |

4.4 oz, 109 yards, U.S. 11 |
A thick/thin yarn that
creates a slubby effect. Soft and beautiful. |
