Angry Triangle: Tiree Yarn

The wool used to produce this yarn comes from Tiree, one of the inner Hebridean Islands, and it is produced by The Angry Triangle, run by Rhoda and Becca who also produce Tiree Tea! "The Angry Triangle is the nickname of a Hebridean sheep in the Isle of Tiree. She lives on the Tiree Tea croft, and whenever she is getting ready to have a lamb she gets steadily more triangular and more furious looking. She is popular on social media where an annual cry of “Behold, the return of the Angry Triangle” usually garners about 7 likes. The entire flock numbers around 60, with Hebrideans, Hebridean Texel crosses in brown and white, a bouncing Beltex tup called Colonel Nut-Clackers and a Blue Texel ram called Little Blue Dangles. The price of wool is at an all time low, and black wool is particularly low value, so after a wee chat with the Angry Triangle and her flockmates – all of whom were furious about the situation, we decided to try selling some." - The Angry Triangle.
