Local natural fibres
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.
New knitting pattern
Knit the Beechmast pullover
Cosy cables, textural moss stitch and a drop-shoulder silhouette make for a fun knit and a relaxed addition to your autumn wardrobe.
