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 name Gotland refers to a Swedish breed developed in the early twentieth century.

Blacker Yarn's Gotland DK has been produced with fibre sourced from three farms located in Gloucester, Hampshire and Galloway.
