Our range includes natural undyed colours, spun using the original colours of the British wool pure breeds. The responsibly sourced wool we use in our luxurious yarn is grown on sheep which have historically roamed freely on the fells and downs of the British Isles for well over 2000 years.
​
The necessary process of shearing the sheep of its wool fleece is carried out in the spring months. It is an essential act of good farming husbandry which helps clear the animal of any potential damaging infections such as blow flystrike, it also helps to keep the sheep cool during the summer months yielding between 3-6kg per animal.
Wool is a naturally occurring product, making wool yarn and the garments made from it, an ecologically friendly, sustainable, and biodegradable quality item, which if treated correctly will reward the wearer with many years of loyalty and comfort.
​
When our partners are dyeing our wool, they are fully in compliance with REACH-Ordinance (EC) No.1907/2006, whilst also achieving the above standard they are accredited to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 norm.
