Locally raised fibre, from the farmers hands to ours! Blended with Canadian Rambouillet from New Wave Fibre!
"Our foundation ewes are Romney Cotswold cross. We have two Bluefaced Leicester rams, so the current generation is 50% BFL. The Cotswold Romney cross gives us very large fleeces with long staple length. The BFL adds softness and lustre. The sheep have bare legs and faces and alert, upright ears. The ewes are good mothers and they thrive in our damp westcoast winters. We love natural browns, greys and blacks and we select our breeding stock to preserve and intensify colour characteristics.
Last year, we brought in a line of coloured Romeldale (CVM) sheep. Romeldales have next-to-the-skin soft fleece. The four ewes and ram we brought in are all coloured, with two ewes being moorit coloured and two being badger faced brown.
We provide top quality ecologically sustainable yarns and prepared fibre for knitters, hand spinners and other makers. We think it matters where things come from and where they go. We think it matters how animals and humans are treated. And we like making."

from 699 reviewsGreat yarn and excellent service. I especially liked that she was able to wind them for me, saving me lots of time so I could get creating right away.
Was at a wonderful knitting retreat put on by this shop and a few of that ladies were using this swivel cord on their needles…..of course I had to try it, so clever and useful……I promptly bought it. Thanks
Adorable, easy to locate when tossed in my bag, and they work really well
My daughter was really excited to receive this. She is going to spread out the 12 days into 24 by opening one every other day!
Just finished my table runner, used it for my warping in three lovely colors. Welf was a snobby cream, very pleased.
Beautiful color combination and the feeling of the yarn while knitting with it!

Absolutely love this product! Estelle Chunky is an amazing new addition to the shop. I'll definitely be getting more to make everyone socks for christmas!
Making two by two hat using a twisted rib and this yarn is nice to work with, my stitch definition is high and even. I am using chocolate brown tweed and it looks great.

I was very excited to cast on for socks. The colorway of the yarn is STUNNING and I can’t wait to finish this pair of socks.
It’s going to knit up beautifully into a pair of toe up socks!!

I was looking for something unique to knit a sweater for my granddaughter. This yarn is absolutely beautiful, and the fact it is made by you makes it extra special :)
