Blacker Tamar Lustre Blend 4ply yarn

Blacker Yarns has created Tamar which is made from historic Wensleydale, Teeswater, Cotswold and Black Leicester Longwool, which are amongst the most distinctive British breeds. Tall and elegant with long lustrous ringlets of wavy fleece, their fiber is smooth and sleek with a distinctive silken sheen.

Pure lustre blend yarns may be rather lean and lack ‘give’, so Blacker has added 30% Cornish Mule to Tamar, helping the yarn retain that characteristic woolly bounce. Mules are a crossbred sheep and can be found on most British farms. For Tamar, only the finest local Cornish lambs’ fleece has been selected. The baby-soft Cornish Mule creates a fine cloud of delicate fiber which perfectly complements the long staple of the lustre breeds creating a yarn which is durable, yet velvet soft. Due to the long fiber length this yarn will get softer and softer with every wash.

Made in UK.  100% Pure New Wool.
