Presenting "Dark Abalone Shells" English BFL Bluefaced Leicester spinning fibre from sheep grown in the UK. Beautifully fluffy, next to the skin soft fibre known for its lustre and sheen properties.

approx 100g of luxury, one continuous length delivered as a braid with a small little silver heart charm keepsake attached as a thank you for choosing our fibres.

First hand dyed in black beans then over-painted with cochineal and teal to give a blend of abalone dark mother of pearl shell colours throughout. Purple, pink and teal blended swirls, one of a kind blends are created by my own speciality method of natural dyeing which takes up to five days to achieve so all are unique one of a kind fibres.

Extremely challenging to photograph, all pictures are taken in natural daylight outside but it is still impossible to capture the true beauty of each length of fibre in a photo, there are lots of hues and variation throughout so these really must be seen and handled to be truly appreciated as the photos simply do not do the fibre justice.

All computer monitors or laptop screens display colours differently, I have done my best to give a true representation of the colours so please keep in mind that your screen may be displaying the tones slightly differently to mine.

Only natural dyes produced directly from plants, flowers, herbs, spices and other items usually found on the grocery aisle of the supermarket are used in my designs, no harsh chemicals or irritants are in any of my products so they are kind to your delicate skin and our environment.

Everything is colourfast and has been washed of dye residue, however, it is advisable to wash your finished item once by itself just in case there is a small trace amount of dye excess left in the fibre.
