Hand-dyed British wool

Mendip DK

Bouncy, warm, lambswool from a single flock in South-West England, hand-dyed in a range that's perfect for colourwork knitting.

Natural fibres

Hand-dyed in the UK

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 – British wool and British alpaca. These are spun to a high standard by small mills and hand-dyed in small batches using environmentally conscious methods.
