Hand-dyed in the valleys of Stroud, UK
I choose high quality, ethically sourced yarn bases from UK mills. All of my yarn is dyed with natural ingredients, is non-superwash and made from 100% wool. I dye the yarn at my home in Stroud, mostly using plants from my garden and allotment.
Take comfort in knowing there's no plastic in any of the bases, including the sock yarns. The Corriedale Sock has a high twist for strength but retains its softness - the Jacob Winter Sock is a robust boot sock, perfect for chilly walks or curling up by the fire.
I hope you'll love the yarn as much as I do, making garments to wear and repair for years to come. Eventually they can be added to the compost, feeding the earth that helped create them in the first place.

Corriedale is a robust yet soft fleece. The high twist creates a hardwearing yarn with no nylon for plastic-free sock knitting. Perfect for a pair of cosy socks or a next-to-skin garment - it's very soft. I've knit lots of socks in this yarn, and a Feels Right Tee.
