This is a handspun cake of 100% Shetland wool from our flock Matron Enya. Enya is a dual coated black 2020 ewe. She is my best momma ewe and from my original flock of 5. She is a wonderful mother, calm, gentle and fertile. She lambs on her own and when paired with Hamish always produces beautiful ewes and wonderful rams that have gone on to other flocks. She passes on her kind and calm demeanor to all her offspring. She is parasite resistant, gains well and always looks in top form, even after lambing.

His fleece is medium to long in staple length, medium to fine, micron count, and has spring and crimp.She started out black and is slowly going a steely slate grey, as she ages. This yarn is from her early shearings and is a warm black.

This is handspun 2 ply DK to heavy weight . I have several cakes of various weights and yardage available.

Minimally processed, by a local mill and spun at home. We do not coat our sheep so, this yarn may have a ‘bit’ of vegetable matter, guaranteeing to you our commitment to the most natural yarn we can produce with the lowest carbon footprint.
