If you need multiple skeins of a single colorway for a larger project (like a garment), you've come to the right place. Please read carefully before choosing your own adventure.
Republica Unicornia's BFL DK is 100% Superwash British Bluefaced Leicester wool, 246 yards/100 g, 4-ply.
Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) is a British sheep breed that produces the most glorious wool: it's soft but a little sheepier than merino, which means it is less prone to pilling. It has a beautiful luster, takes dye wonderfully, and has good stitch definition. (I love it so much.)
Minimum order is four (4) skeins of the same colorway on the same base.
Here's how it works:
-
Visit the Colorway Library and decide what color you want! Leave the color you'd like in the notes section at checkout. *NOTE! Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn/monitors/lighting/how yarn bases take dye, your yarn may not look exactly like the photo. I make every effort to keep things consistent but hand-dyeing is not an exact science.
- Select the number of skeins you'd like.
- Leave the name of the colorway you'd like in the notes section at checkout!
- This yarn is dyed-to-order. Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.
- If you order additional items at the same time, your order will ship all at once.
- Don't forget to use the code "UNICORN" for 15% off on six or more items in the shop (this can't be combined with other discounts).

*****************************************************************************
Everything you see here is made with love and some swearing in fabulous Atlanta, Georgia. Yarn is ethically-sourced (museling-free) and dyed with professional, colorfast, lightfast acid dyes.
Due to the nature of hand-dyed yarn, I recommend that you alternate skeins in larger projects. There are often variations even within the same dyelot.
Some color bleeding is normal during the first couple of washes. I wash the bejebus out of my skeins, but some colors are just bleeders.
Your handmade items are magical delicate flowers and should be treated as such. Handwash in cool water with a delicate detergent (I recommend Sock Soap from Tuft Woolens) and lay flat to dry. Machine wash at your own risk (I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your project during machine washing. Those things are violent.)
Yarn is dyed in a pet-free studio.
I do my best to make sure items are true to color in the photos, but monitors/eyeballs/etc. differ. Blues and greens are especially challenging to capture (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, MRS. PEACOCK).
If you have a problem with or a question about your purchase, please contact me directly. I'm a reasonable human being.
