Get your hand-dyed yarn fix, guilt-free
You won't find any synthetic or superwash yarn here. It's all natural fibres sourced locally in the South-West of England from happy, healthy animals.
My hand-dyed skeins are spun to a high standard by small UK mills and dyed by hand in small batches using environmentally conscious methods in my Wiltshire studio.
