About Cambrian Wool

Cambrian Wool have worked with local farmers to realise their conviction that fine wool can be had from Welsh flocks. Their wool is produced on farms throughout the Cambrian Mountain region in Mid-Wales; a beautiful and wild area which is perfect for raising sheep. Their premium wool is the finest grade of Welsh Mule, which is the name given to the local Welsh breed when it is crossed with Blue Faced Leicester. Scouring, spinning, dyeing and weaving all happen within 250 miles of their base in Cardigan.

Why We Love Them

This yarn has a real sense of place. The names of the different shades evoke the wild hills and rugged coastlines of Mid Wales and the beautifully soft yarn will add a touch of luxury to any project, whilst being tough enough to make hand knitted items that will last for years to come.


 

Perfect for Colourwork

The yarn comes in a range of rich colours which work beautifully together, making it perfect for colour work. Shades such as Gwymon, Ironstone and Welsh Red would also work well by themselves to make wonderfully bright accessories and add a pop of colour on cold winter days.
