Origin Stories

The discoveries we make as we learn about the origins of the wool, have a lot to do with why we choose to have it in the shop, and why we love to work with it.

Yarn

The sheep and the land on which they graze, the shepherds and shepherdesses that have tended them, the visionaries who dreamt of making the yarns and then took the risks to get them spun, the mills, the scourers and the dye houses: they all play their part in creating these special heritage yarns that you can find on our shelves. It comes as no surprise that these yarns feel different to work with. You can feel it in the character of the yarn and in the handle of the cloth it makes.
