Gotland wool. Gotland wool is naturally grey which, when combined with the higher proportion of Corriedale wool, produces a light grey yarn that takes the natural dyes beautifully resulting in rich heathered colours with a gorgeous sheen.

The Gotland is an old long-haired breed of sheep originating from the island of Gotland in Sweden. The sheep has long, lustrous locks and the spun yarn is light and warm with a wonderful drape and subtle halo.

Corriedale wool also has a long staple, with a beautiful crimp that makes it naturally springy. Much loved for its cosiness, durability and next-to-skin softness, Corriedale is a great all-purpose yarn and one of our most popular wools.
