Our Story
From Farm to Fibre
Our business started when I discovered how little farmers were getting for their sheep’s fleeces, and I was shocked, that we don’t use British wool more in our everyday lives. I decided to do something about it.
I began working with my local sheep farmer to set up a supply chain that champions a low carbon footprint, while collaborating with wonderful mills and knitting partners. It’s been an amazing journey so far, and I’m so proud to support British wool and the hardworking farmers behind it!
We are committed to supporting British craftsmanship at every stage of our process. From the very beginning, we work closely with British farmers who raise our sheep with care and respect for the land. Our wool then travels only a short distance to be processed by trusted British mills, ensuring low-mile manufacturing and a smaller environmental footprint. We also collaborate with a third-generation family of knitters, whose dedication to their craft ensures that every product is made with the highest quality. This farm-to-fibre journey, all within England, allows us to keep the process local, sustainable, and deeply rooted in British manufacturing traditions.
Join us in embracing the benefits of wool while supporting local agriculture and promoting a natural resource. Together, we can make a difference, one fibre at a time!
