The breed has been promoted as an exotic sheep in North America, and this has made the Black Welsh Mountain a well-kept secret in the sheep industry and among sheep producers.

Black Welsh Mountain sheep were first imported into North America in 1972 by Thomas Wyeman of Easton, Maryland.

Breeding Black Welsh Mountain at Mutiny Bay Farm

Melle is the most tender mother and sleeps with her nose on her lamb and distresses when this is not so.
. . .
Breeding Black Welsh Mountain at Mutiny Bay Farm Home About the Farm History Black Welsh Mountain Sheep Sheep For Sale Contact Us   Black Welsh Mountain sheep at Mutiny Bay Farm The small, primitive Black Welsh Mountain Sheep offer the small flock owner a wealth of wool and commercial potential.
. . .
Each lamb purchased comes with registration and pedigree and a lot of care.
. . .
I sincerely want to promote this charming breed and have recently been elected to the Board of Directors of the American Black Welsh Mountain Sheep Association.
. . .
They seem to thrive on what they can find in the woods and forage a variety of plants: blackberries, new alder, thistle tips, and all grasses.
. . .
Their tails are long and left naturally undocked, so it can truly be said, "they come home with their tails wagging behind them." Their wool has been made famous by Welsh woolen mills, but it is only in the British genetics that I have seen its full display of its beauty.

Three Sheeps To The Wind: Black Welsh Mountain

A rolag (on left in the photo) is made from a hand carded sample being rolled from the front of the card toward the handle so the fibers form a spiral.
. . .
 Carded, spun off the card 2 ply 15 wpi       This sample was spun right off the end of the card.
. . .
 Woolen spinning has a bit less control and makes a very consistent yarn very difficult to achieve.
. . .
 I finally finished the Corriedale and have plenty of lovely things to say about Romney.
. . .
 But knitted or woven into a sample the inconsistencies disappear.
. . .
 Never as soft as Merino but definitely useful for next to skin items.
