Julie Asselin Nomade BFL

Julie Asselin Yarns is owned and operated by Julie and Jean-Francois in Sherbrooke, QC, "two craftspeople driven by the need to offer original yarns that will unleash your creativity".

Nomade BFL is your new favourite sock yarn. BFL, short for Bluefaced Leicester sheep, is a long-staple wool that creates a springy, lustrous yarn. It's stronger than merino, but still quite soft and it's natural colour has a depth that remains even after the dye process.

We especially love the extra yardage it gives in a skein. Each of these boasts 440 metres, so it's very excellent value.

*Please keep in mind that colourway appearance will vary from screen to screen and we cannot guarantee a 100% colour match to the way it appears on your screen. Always buy enough yarn for your project so we can guarantee that dye lots will match.

**Each skein of hand-dyed yarn is a unique item. As such, the yarn you receive can differ somewhat from batch to batch, and from this picture. While we do our best to represent here the colourways of each dyer, it is possible that the yarn you receive may not look exactly like the one seen here. 

While no dye lot is available, they are usually dyed in batches and we do our utmost to ensure each skein of the same colourway and your order matches as well as possible. Always buy enough yarn for your project. If we cannot guarantee a good match between skeins, we will contact you before shipment to make arrangements.
