All our wool is shorn from Traditional and Rare Breeds of Certified Organic British sheep and spun at a local mill where each batch of fleeces is identified and processed separately. The fleeces are hand washed in soft water with a biodegradable detergent and then carded and spun by machine. During the spinning a small amount of oil is added to the wool as necessary lubrication. This is removed in the final wash leaving a pure, clean yarn.which is neither dyed nor is it bleached: all the colours are natural and so cannot run when washed.The whole process is environmentally friendly.

We are delighted to offer the first yarns to be processed to full Soil Association and Global Organic Textile Standards and carry the Soil Association Symbol.

•Soil Association symbol yarns see this page for new yarns as they are added.

Some yarns from our original range are still available - all from certified organic sheep - but processed before the mill was licenced by the Soil Association. All new and repeat batches of yarns will fully comply with the Soil Association Standards for Organic Textiles. • Original organic yarns
