Hickory - Silky BFL Yarn

About the colourway: Rich, warm and naturally grounded, Hickory is a deep woodland brown with gentle tonal variation that adds depth and interest. Inspired by aged wood and forest tones, it has a classic, earthy feel that’s both timeless and versatile. Perfect for everything from garments to accessories, this dependable shade works beautifully on its own or paired with brighter colours for contrast.

About the yarn base: Our Silky BFL 4 Ply yarn is a beautifully luxurious blend of Superwash Bluefaced Leicester wool and Grade A Mulberry Silk, combining strength, softness and elegant sheen in one stunning yarn base.

Bluefaced Leicester is prized for its long staple length, natural lustre and excellent durability, while the addition of mulberry silk brings a smooth texture and luminous shine. Together they create a yarn with beautiful drape, vibrant colour and crisp stitch definition.

Silky BFL absorbs dye exceptionally well, producing rich, bright colourways and striking speckles. The finished fabric has a gentle halo and elegant movement, making it perfect for shawls, garments and accessories where both drape and sheen really shine.
