Cambrian Mountains Wool 4 Ply – Cegin
A 100% wool warm grey knitting yarn. ‘Cegin’ is the Welsh word for ‘kitchen’. Think traditional, smokey warm, limestone with a hooded hooded fireplace.
The kitchen, the hearth, the fire that never goes out, warmth, a haven from the exertions of the day and the storms that sweep through the valleys, tearing at the doors of the cottages huddled into the mountainsides.
Our dyed yarns are spun from finest Welsh Mule: Bluefaced Leicester with character! The Welsh Mule comes about by crossing the local hill breeds with a Bluefaced Leicester ram, and this cross improves the wool. Suited to clothing, this yarn has a good definition whilst developing a nice halo. Hand wash and don’t tumble dry!
Our wool is produced on farms throughout the Cambrian Mountains Region, which encompasses much of Mid Wales – a stunningly beautiful and wild area
