Cambrian Mountains Wool Double Knitting – Gwymon
A rich mossy green 100% wool knitting yarn from sheep farmed on the Cambrian Mountains.
Gwymon is the Welsh word for seaweed. As the mountains sweep down to the sea, seaweeds wash with the tide, home to sealife and sustaining the people of the area as laverbread. Best enjoyed with sea food or on hot buttered toast!
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
