John Arbon Knit By Numbers DKThe brand new blend of Knit by Numbers is finally here! The John Arbon mill has combined Merino and one of the softest British breeds, Blue Faced Leicester in a 50 50 blend. BFL is a sheep renowed for its lustrous locks, which have a delicate sheen to them. So this new base has a little more lustre and drape than the previous 100% merino. It is soft enough to wear next to the skin but still has crisp stitch definition. As with all of the John Arbon
