Black Welsh Mountain yarn comes from the fleece of the Black Welsh Mountain sheep, a heritage breed known for its deep, rich black wool. The yarn is typically strong and durable, with a natural, earthy texture. It has a coarse, robust feel, making it ideal for outerwear like sweaters, hats, and other items that need resilience. The color of the yarn is a deep, almost jet-black, which gives it a striking, natural appearance without the need for dyes. Despite its sturdiness, it retains good stitch definition, making it a popular choice for rustic, textured knitting and weaving projects.
