Collection: Wool
Black Sheep Wool
We use the yarn from the Black Welsh Mountain (which gives our darker shades) and the Welsh Mountain (the oatmeal colour) sheep breeds. When we started out the Black Welsh was on the endangered breeds list. Now, having as it does, a commercial future it is abundant in England and Wales. Its natural properties are perfect for the outdoor life: Warmth, comfort, durability, strength and beauty. But it also has the advantage of being naturally oiled which means it shrugs off dirt and makes it water resistant. Wool has protected man from the elements for centuries and it is no surprise that even with the development of man made fibres over the last few decades that it is now enjoying a strong resurgence.
The colours we are selling on the website are:
Light Grey Welsh ( natural undyed oatmeal colour)
Dark Grey Welsh (natural undyed browny/grey colour)
Natural Twist - Light grey and dark grey twisted together. (natural undyed)

Let customers speak for us
Perfect for the cold days. Good to purchase something handmade in UK.
As my previous Black Sheep jumper is starting to show signs of wear (after 40 years!), I decided to invest in a new one.
Very pleased.
Ordered the ribbed hat in Sable for my husband, who had been looking for a proper British wool hat. He was delighted with it; fits well, is excellent quality and the colour matches his brown wax jacket perfectly. Very pleased and highly recommend.
I am very pleased with the item. Please thank Julie for knitting it for me.
The world's a bit of a wobbly place right now, but one stable constant is Black Sheep Gloves. My blue fingerless gloves are still going strong 3 years on, and have now been joined by a lush red fingerless pair.
Snug and cozy, I can face anything once they are on my hands.
Keep up the wonderful work:)
I'm very happy with it. I had another similar one a few years ago and the quality is still great.
Ich habe schon einige Pullover hier bestellt und bin jedes Mal begeistert über die gute Qualität!
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland!
Lovely and warm, soft and unfortunately expensive, this is just the job for the cold Australian winters.
I asked for additional wool for along left project and they went above and beyond to assist me. Will certainly use again
I'm loving knitting with the wool I bought recently and the customer service was amazing - great communication and speedy delivery, thanks!
The Fragrance from the soap is good ,en soap helps the skin .Till the next time.
Die Lieferung der Ware war schnell und zuverlässig. Die Qualität der Ware ist über jeden Zweifel erhaben. 👍👍👍
Aber bei einem Wert von ca. 150€ zusätzlich 30€ Zoll? In einer Welt mit Putin, Trump und Xi Jinping sollte Europa zusammenstehen, incl. Great Britain. Please, forget the Brexit. We all are Europeans!
Beautiful, soft wool which is a dream to knit.
