About Our Yarns

The following statement comes directly from our wholesaler:

Our Bluefaced Leicester is 100% British. It comes from small farms all over the UK, and is purchased through the British Wool Marketing Board on our behalf. The fibers are then scoured and Superwash-treated in the UK to the highest environmental standards possible.

Our Merino fibers come from various sources (not Australia). We specify that none of our merino fibers are to come from farms practicing mulesing. You can be confident that our Merino is mulesing-free.

Our non-superwash Merino is Peruvian Merino. This comes from small herds in the mountains where sheep are the livelihood of the shepherds. It is in their interest to look after their livestock carefully in order to receive the highest price possible for the fleece, and to guarantee themselves an income. Our Peruvian mill also provides education programs to help shepherds get the best out of their animals.

Our Superwash Merino comes from Argentina and Uruguay. It is sourced from many farms of varying sizes, from smaller to larger farms.
