Cambrian Mountains Wool Double Knitting – Hafan
‘Hafan’ translates from Welsh as haven or home… and is the name of an old mine yielding a beautiful blue mineral. 100% wool farmed in the Cambrian Mountains.
A home in Welsh, but also Hafan mine, where the beautiful blue mineral Caledonite is found. Parts of the mountains take on the same blueish tones, the greens and greys less prevalent in certain light.
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
