Cambrian Mountains Wool 4 Ply – Ironstone
A warm and cheery orange, not glowing. The slightly rusty orange that colours the local stone. 100% wool for hand knitting.
Ancient deposits of iron within the mountains take on reddish tones as they oxidise, streaking the rocks with muted stripes. Ironstone is quiet flash of colour, a highlight in a palette of muted tones.
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
