Impact
This yarn comes through the British Wool licensing scheme, ensuring responsibly sourced fleece and full traceability from field to mill. Most of the spinning, dyeing, and finishing happens within 20 miles of West Yorkshire Spinners’ Keighley mill, meaning a dramatically smaller carbon footprint and a deep commitment to local craftsmanship. With additional partnerships—from Falkland Islands farmers to Jamieson & Smith—you’re knitting with fiber that supports sustainable practices and celebrates the heritage of wool.
