We love our yarns and fibre products  because they show the best of the characteristics of Wensleydale Longwool:-

SUSTAINABLE:

all our production is Sussex Based from sheep to spinning and finished products.  We are so lucky to have Diamond Fibre Worsted Spinning Mill only a few miles away - a truly talented and hands-on small-scale production.  All our talented makers and knitters live locally too.

SHINE:

Wensleydale Longwool is acknowledged to be the finest Longwool in the world with a unique structure and lustre. When this is combined with the worsted spinning process the result is stunning.

SOFT:

The Wensleydale fleece is like no other: no guard hairs or Kemp wool, no alteration in substance from belly to back which makes every lock usable once it is graded for purpose.

STRONG:

even one filament has an inherent tensile strength. Many fibres, either wool or mixed will break when stretched. Not Wensleydale and once it is worsted spun with all the fibres combed parallel its strength will enable it to last for years with minimum abrasion. This mean our fine yarns are just as strong as our Double Knit.......

SPECIAL:

our yarns are produced in very small quantities!! Once it is gone it is gone and every run is different. The yarn is mainly produced for personal use, we can sell whatever we don't use, but this may vary greatly. All our products are 100% unblended Wensleydale wool.
Only the best quality fleeces or even just parts of them go for worsted processing.
