Love this fiber!
"Love, love love! One of my favorite fibers to spin. Gotland is a soft smooth fiber. Staples are slightly shorter than some other wool and it’s smoother. Nota a fiber for beginners."
What Customers Say
Rated 5 out of 5 — 9 verified reviews
Gotland wool is fine, long, lustrous and dense. It can be varying shades of grey, from pale silver to a rich blue-gray to a dark charcoal or almost black. The fleece grows in long, fine, and lustrous distinctive curls. Soft to the touch, the smooth silky curls feel clean, having little lanolin. Gotland wool falls in soft ringlets and grows about 10 to 12 inches a year.
Working with Gotland Wool
Felting - Gotland wool felts easily, creating a smooth, strong surface. The curls may be used as fringe or embellishments in the felted items. Gotland wool is often referred to as, the “felter’s favorite”.
Knitting - Gotland wool yarn knits into a light and delicate fabric with a lovely drape. It has a soft halo, giving it a subtle warmth and loftiness. The lustrous sheen brings out the natural gray tones in the wool. The wide range of shades of gray allow for interesting color palettes when over-dyed.
Spinning - Gotland wool is desired by hand spinners for its long length and soft handle.

Gotland top grey roving
"Arrived quickly, looks great"
Lovely Color, Lovely to Spin
"Love spinning this fiber and the color, with its variations, produces a wonderful yarn. I need to buy more!"
So soft
"I have been wanting to try Gotland yarn for a while but it’s hard to find so when I saw it in fiber form I knew I had to have it. It’s so soft. I haven’t spun it yet as it’s special and I’m saving it for when I get a little more practice as it’s too nice to mess up. I know once spun it’s going to be a beautiful yarn."
