Cambrian Wool offers premium wool is the finest grade of Welsh Mule, the name given to the local Welsh breed when crossed with the Blue Face Leicester. It’s the Blue Face that imparts the lustre and fineness, resulting in a worsted spun yarn with a sheen and a halo suitable for attire of all kinds. It felts well too, and makes a beautiful woven fabric.

As well as yarns for handknit and crochet in 4ply and Double knit, Cambrian Wool is keen to develop weaving yarns using its Cambrian wool.

The Community Interest Community Interest Company is always interested in hearing from potential stockists of its wool, and makers and small manufactures looking for genuine Welsh wool (scoured fleece, tops or yarn) of consistent quality.
