Blend: 33% Bluefaced Leicester / 33% Falklands Merino / 33% Zwartbles

Colour Blending: We start with solid coloured tops (aligned fibre) and blend them together using precise recipes to create our nuanced shades. 

The entire range is created from a handful of base colours, making it easy to find harmonious colour combos for colourwork projects.  

Bluefaced Leicester: This is one of the most popular British breeds– and rightly so! This fibre has a wonderful balance of drape and durability, with just a little woolly bounce. Micron:28; Average Staple Length: 9cm/3.5”

Falklands Merino: The softest sheep breed, ideal for next-to-skin wear. Wonderfully bouncy with dense structure. Our Merino is farmed in the Falkland Islands – ensuring that the animals have been treated with the utmost care and are free from harmful mulesing. Micron: 23; Average Staple Length: 11.5/4.5”

Zwartbles: The breed originates from Friesland in The Netherlands, but is now widely farmed across Exmoor. They are a naturally dark brown sheep with distinctive white accents on their face, legs and tails. The fibre is voluminous and incredibly bouncy, when added to a blend it creates a wonderful depth of tone. Micron: 35; Average Staple Length:9cm/3.5”

This base is a Traceable Wool Blend. The UK portion of this fibre purchased from the British Wool Marketing Board (BWMB) uses their new traceability scheme meaning that all the wool is fully traceable back to the exact farm it came from. We know which farmer, in which area, contributed to every bale of wool we process, including how many sheep produced their share.

However, our climate here in the UK is not suited to Merino and Corriedale sheep. We make sure to source ours from the Falklands in order to ensure that the animals have been treated with the utmost care and are free from harmful mulesing.
