This gorgeous wool is spun from Welsh Mule fleece, which is

a cross between Welsh hill breeds and Bluefaced Leicester.

Its even, 4ply stitches form a firm fabric that’s perfect for

comfortable garments. The fabric offers a light halo, which

gives a quality finish that sits comfortably next to the skin.

Once blocked, enjoy its delicate, supple drape.

Produced from single-flock Romney wool by Tregaron-based

Garthenor, Pentland is a beautiful yet practical 4ply yarn.

The stitches feel light on your needles, and the fabric delivers

a durable-feeling drape, promising resilient garments with a

surprisingly floaty feel. It comes in 24 elegant colours, and has

been designed as a companion to the undyed Number 2 yarn.

We take a look at six wonderful yarns from Wales, where artisan

producers use their heritage and landscapes as inspiration
