Description
Celebrate the rich natural shades found within our Romney flock with Blackthorn, a traditional textured twill fabric woven from 100% British wool.

The traditional twill construction creates a subtle diagonal weave and a structured handle, making Blackthorn a versatile choice for clothing, accessories and creative textile projects.
