Our British DK base is a DK-weight non-superwash yarn spun from a beautiful blend of Bluefaced Leicester wool and natural brown Masham wool. Bluefaced Leicester wool is the finest UK wool, known for its sheen and drape. Masham sheep have been bred for over a century on the hills of Northern England. When dyed, amazing and deep colours come through due to the brown Masham fibres in the blend.
Les Garçons’ British blend is also available in fingering (British 4-Ply), sport (British Sport) and aran (British Aran) weights. Looking for a superwash option? Browse our BFL Twist DK.

The Falkland DK base from Les Garçons—our ecru take on our beloved British base—is a luxurious DK-weight yarn spun from a beautiful blend of Bluefaced Leicester wool and Falkland Corriedale wool. The construction, twist and feel of this yarn perfectly matches that of the British DK.
Sourced from the Falkland Islands, Corriedales combine the best qualities of Merino and Lincoln sheep, resulting in a yarn that is both warm and breathable. When blended with trusted Bluefaced Leicester wool, this combination provides a luxurious softness with a slight luster, perfect for creating long-lasting, beautiful garments.
