This is a delicious base mixing the best of BFL and Silk. BFL (Bluefaced Leicester) is a bred of sheep with gorgeous shiny long staple wool that still is softer then most long-wool sheep. Blended with silk it gives a fantastic lace weight yarn that would be perfect for a shawl or a lightweight summer cardigan.
Ægir is a god of the sea in Norse mythology, but he also is responsible for another important activity: The brewing of ale. Ægir brews ale for the gods and holds a feast for them in his halls. What happens when the gods assemble to feast in Ægirs hall is legendary
The colour is that of at good strong ale. A golden orange whit brown and chestnut overtones.
Loki spake:
"In shall I go
into Ægir's hall,
For the feast I fain would see;
Bale and hatred
I bring to the gods,
And their mead with venom I mix."
