50g. 90% BFL Wool, 10% Afghan Cashmere. 4Ply.
£16.49
King Cole’s Naturally Soft 4Ply brings together 90% Bluefaced Leicester wool and 10% Afghan cashmere to give your finest work a genuine softness you’ll feel the moment you wind the first ball. Whether you’re casting on a lacy shawl, a pair of fitted socks, or a delicate baby cardigan, this yarn rewards patience with results that feel genuinely special against the skin.
Bluefaced Leicester is known for its long, lustrous fibre with a natural sheen and smooth hand feel, and blended with Afghan cashmere it becomes noticeably soft without any scratchiness. It knits up with clean, crisp stitch definition, making it ideal for fine cables, lace patterns, or colourwork where every detail counts. The slight springiness helps your tension stay even, even over longer knitting sessions.
The palette reflects the quality of the yarn itself — tones that allow the BFL sheen to do its quiet work and cashmere-softened hues that look refined rather than flat. Each shade knits up with a consistency that makes colourwork and striped projects — like a Fair Isle yoke or a striped baby blanket — look polished and intentional.
At 4Ply weight with 190m per 50g ball, you’ll get good mileage from each skein, particularly for smaller projects like fingerless mitts, fine ankle socks, or a christening shawl. The natural fibre content means you’ll want to check care instructions and treat it gently, but the resulting softness and drape make that entirely worthwhile.
