The Swedish Heritage yarn has been spun into a near-white and a near-black version from different Swedish heritage breed sheep’s wool.

I have carefully picked each fleece to be included. Both the white and black batch consists of mostly soft crimp under-wool, but with a certain portion of long thin guard hairs. Some of the fleeces had a dominant under-wool and some had a dominant overcoat, but with all the fleeces put together, both batches have the same balance of the two types of fibre.

I find the Swedish Heritage yarn is suitable for colourwork mittens, or fair-isle hats, since it is a 2-ply sport weight yarn of 310 m / 100 g. It is soft with a natural melange, and some added strength because of the long over-coat fibre included.
