The yarn for these socks is from Vocabulary Yarns, and it’s a bluefaced leicester/nylon sock yarn, which was really nice to work with, and it pooled really well! I’ve been enjoying playing with some textures, and these socks have some small little diamonds.
Bluefaced Leicester is a long wool, so it’s a bit coarser, which should improve the durability of the socks. It also has a lovely luster to it, and shines a bit like silk does. Here’s a picture of some bluefaced Leicesters from the Maryland sheep and wool festival!
