Manx Loaghtan
Manx Loaghtan wool top
Manx Loaghtan is a rare primitive breed from the Isle of Man, and its fleece comes in a distinctive warm moorit brown straight off the sheep. The name comes from the Manx for mouse-brown. It's a medium wool with a crisp, springy handle that spins into a characterful yarn with real depth of color, lovely for hats, outerwear and traditional knitting where you want natural shade rather than dye.
Our Manx Loaghtan combed top is undyed in its natural brown.
