FABULOUS by McIntosh is a luxurious British wool composed of 55% British Bluefaced Leicester spun together with 45% Grade A Mulberry Silk and is accredited as a British Wool blend by British Wool.  

BFL by McIntosh is a 100% British wool and accredited by British Wool as such.

Knitting from a skein: wind each skein into a ball before knitting. We recommend leaving the wool in skein form until prior to knitting to protect the fibre tension.

Pattern: after purchase, you will be sent a copy issue 245 of Knitting Magazine with your order.

A note on colour: as yarn colours vary in different lighting conditions and electronic screens vary too, there may be a slight variation in the product colour. As all of our yarn is hand-dyed, each batch is as unique as you are. We recommend alternating between 2 skeins as you knit throughout the garment. 

Care instructions: hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry. 

Returns: we want you to be thrilled with McIntosh. If not, we will refund or change your yarn within 60 days.  Simple.
