Blacker Yarns is a British yarn brand specializing in breed-specific wool products. Their British wool yarns are all spun in their own mill in Cornwall and they produce a large variety of different bases in beautiful and contemporary color palettes.
The 5-ply construction of this Romney Guernsey makes a yarn which locks together well to make a garment wind-proof. The worsted spinning (not worsted WEIGHT) creates a crisp and lean yarn with excellent stitch definition for fancy textured guernsey designs but also helps soften the handle of the local wool whatever breed it is from. Linking land and sea, the natural colors include dark peat, foamy cream and pewter, along with rich dyed shades of reds and blues to reflect sea, shore and rocks for classic and contemporary style guernseys.
