Gotland sheep produce very fine and particularly warm wool in shades from silver to charcoal – the only sheep that produce a truly grey fleece. The resulting yarn has a wonderful lustre, takes dye beautifully and knits up to produce a remarkably light fabric. The founder of our company, Sue Blacker, kept a small flock of Gotland sheep and every batch of our Gotland yarn is blended with a small amount from Sue’s own Cornish flock. Just like their fibre, Gotland sheep are rather special, and Sue believed they are “extremely intelligent, with a sense of humour and mischief.”
