Black Sheep Wool Ruana

I just recently got this ruana for myself on sale. It's from the UK and made of 100% genuine Welsh Black Sheep wool. It even has a tag saying so!

Anyway, this beautifully woven ruana is warm and just so well-made. A ruana is an open cape that you wear as a wrap around your shoulders and body. They are surprisingly warm and very flattering. They also have a sort of romantic look to them like walking in a grassy field on a crisp fall day.

Black sheep wool is highly prized in the UK and all over the world for its beauty, warmth and superior length. The term "black sheep of the family" used to refer to someone who is an embarrassment to a family is completely misplaced. The farmer who had black sheep was considered to be very successful and respected due to his superior quality animals. In fact, black sheep wool is considered to be something of a rarity and highly sought after. If someone ever refers to you as the black sheep of the family, take it as a compliment...it means you're unique and should be treasured! :)
