Blacker Sheep

Gotland fleeces are lustrous and grey, varying in shades from charcoal to silver. The wool is fine with a good crimp, making it most similar to Blue Faced Leicester or Shetland of the British breeds. It is fine enough to be worn next to the skin and is excellent for knitwear, textiles and felt.

Blacker Sheep has raw, washed and carded fleece for sale along with knitting wool, both light Aran and double knitting. The wool is in four shades, from near white to dark grey.

Spun double knitting wool or light Aran costs £4.50 for 100 grams. Washed carded wool costs £2.50 for 100 grams. Raw skirted fleeces cost between £5-10 depending on weight and quality. Tanned sheepskin skins cost between £50-100, again depending on quality. All prices exclude carriage.
