Each year we process thousands of kilos of British wool; every spin leaves an excess amount of material that would usually wind up as ‘waste’. We love our wool, and we don’t like waste! So, we’ve given it the revival it deserves.

We start by collecting all this valuable, perfectly good fibre and add a helpful hint of nylon, which is also recycled from our spins. Next, we send it to our local production partner to card, comb and convert back into tops before it arrives back at our mill for spinning. This spun yarn then heads out again to be dyed locally, and once dyed, it’s back to us for finishing, balling and packing. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, and all of this takes place within a 10-mile radius – something which we’re extremely proud of.

We’ve saved our wool from waste, join us on our Wool Revival.
