Organic Fleece & Wool
The Wensleydale sheep has the most highly prized of British native fleeces. It is naturally soft and kemp-free (none of those itchy little hairs!) - perfect for makers of knitted, crocheted and woven clothing, blankets and upholstry. It has a 'clean', lustrous quality - giving it a slight 'lift' in natural form and a warm, soft glow when dyed. Meanwhile, a wide range of craftspeople, especially hand spinners and rug makers, want the fleece 'raw' for its long, silky curls!
All our fleece & wool is organic. Every stage - from farming to spinning to dying - meets Global Organic Textile Standards. Guaranteed free from farm pesticides or processing chemicals, this is good news for the sheep, the environment, the makers - and the end-wearers/users!
