Northern Ireland Scottish Blackface

In Sales Blog by Natalie

When you think Scottish Blackface, don’t think American Scottish Blackface, think Northern Ireland! There is regionality to the Scottish Blackface in Northern Ireland and they have an amazingly long staple and a wool fiber which picks up dye amazingly well. Every year when I go to the UK, I make a trip to Northern Ireland on the hunt for this type of Scottish Blackface. All the fleece I have is long and seems to be up to 12 inches and none is under 8-9 inches. This is a joy to dye and it’s wild character and easily handleable fiber type makes it so easy to work with. Northern Ireland’s Scottish Blackface is one of my favorite fibers because of the staple length and strong high micron fiber type. Perfect for warp yarn, or you can use the fibers as plying threads; alternately felt it into an amazing boa or humane pelt. It’s pretty awesome and a favorite among me and my friends.
