Rachel’s journey began with the 2015 clip of the Hebridean sheep who graze Escrick Park Estate, shepherded by her father, John Atkinson. With a firm commitment to using only 100% British wool from shepherds and producers within the UK, they aim to support all aspects of British manufacturing in their processing and production.

The Knitting Goddess
An independent dyer of British knitting yarns, producing hand dyed yarns from British wool. Their yarns are dyed in small batches, which means that every skein is unique and unrepeatable. Like us, Joy & Bobbie believe that there is something utterly satisfying about using yarns when you know exactly where the wool came from, where it was processed and where it was spun. Their wools are all sourced from UK flocks, and are processed, spun and dyed in the UK. We make their Be Reyt yarn.
Lucy Locket Land
Madame Guillotine (France)
Marie Wallin
Marie’s yarn is made from four different British sheep breeds: Bluefaced Leicester, Exmoor Blueface, Wensleydale and Zwartbles. The wool fibre from each breed adds a certain characteristic to the yarn… Bluefaced Leicester adds the beautiful softness, Exmoor Blueface adds the softness too but this sheep produces a white fleece therefore adding a ‘cleaness’ to the blended tops making for more successful dyeing. Wensleydale adds the strength and lustre and Zwartbles adds the bounce or springiness. We make her British Breeds range.
