(Previously called Exmoor Zwartbles DK)

Our Devon Naturals range is a celebration of local fibre and British sheep breeds. Available in 4ply, DK, mini skeins and 100g skeins, as well as fibre tops, these heavenly gradients blend some of our favourite, undyed 100% traceable wool.

Our Devon Naturals range is a curated selection of our local wool in undyed gradient shades. Alongside our blend of Exmoor Blueface and Zwartbles (previously called Exmoor Zwartbles), we have added a Grey Exmoor Blueface and Romney option as well. Each of these breeds is available separately, as well as a blended gradient of each combo so you can get the best of both!

Each blend leans into a different characteristic of the wools– the Zwartbles/Exmoor Blueface is super bouncy and robust, and the Grey Exmoor Blueface/Romney is softer and more lustrous. We hope that these lovely sheepy yarns will suit a variety of projects and help you find the right blend for your heirloom pieces.

As this range is all about the sheep, we’ve kept it simple and named each as if they were our own little flock, with alliterative old timey names that bring us joy!
